I was thinking of using historical teams that you guys choose and placing them together in one league. There's a catch though: you get to take one player who's been on that team in whatever year and he gets to play. For example, a player could choose the 1994 Montreal Expos and decide to import Randy Johnson in his best year since Johnson was on the Expos at a time. Or, I could choose to be the 1927 Yankees and have A-Rod from 2002 play. It's entirely up to you guys if you want to play or not, I just thought it would be interesting to see what historical teams you guys favor and what player you think would have made that team perfect.

To go over it again, you choose a historical team or a current one and one player. Once you decide on your player, you chose a year of his career (preferably his best) and tell me. To make sure this turns out correctly, I'll be using OOTP Baseball (which is good for this kind of thing...) and disabling trades, suspensions and injuries along with fatigue. If you're interested, PM me following the template below (if you don't want to PM me, just post here, it doesn't matter):



Teams already chosen:

1946 Boston Red Sox
1927 New York Yankees
1998 New York Yankees
2001 Seattle Mariners
1996 Atlanta Braves

*Subject to change

I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more attention...

Team: 1927 New York Yankees
Player: 1998 Big Mac (Mark McGwire)
Position: 3B
Spot in the Rotation (if a pitcher): ---
Spot in the Lineup (if a batter): Fifth

maybe cause it's 1 AM EST good pick by the way

1998 Yankees
Player: 2001 Barry Bonds
Position: LF
Batting Lineup: third

Pssh! Longball! You have to choose a player who's been on the Yankees!

Team: 2001 Seattle Mariners
Player: 2002 Randy Johnson
Position: SP
Spot in the Rotation (if a pitcher): Ace?
Spot in the Lineup (if a batter):

Not needed. People can choose whatever player they want.

Me_and_Lucy, do you want your pick to be Johnson or Mantle?

Thanks...Hmm I'll think about it and I'll edit or PM you.

I choose:

1996 Atlanta Braves

position player- 1959 Hank Aaron

position: CF(he can play CF right? He was an outfielder and played 13 games there in 1959)

Spot in lineup: 3rd

We have five people registered. That's awesome. My deadline to start this is the 28th, or when we have eight teams. Whatever comes first.

And Jacobye, Aaron can play CF.

EDIT: Nobody has chosen Koufax yet? Wow.

Ok thanks

just a question, what was the earliest year in which you can play OOTP? 1900? Before?

Wait, can Mantle play LF?

It's around 1871 if you plan on using real players (database starts here) and financials, otherwise I think you would be able to start at 1800 and work your way up. I, for one, do that a lot since I like pretending I own the world. I started at 1800 before and wrote stories about important fictional events that were "occurring". I used my own financials though.

And yes he can play LF, Me_and_Lucy.

Ok I'll take mantle and bat him 4th

Oh my God...

Dr K has Gehrig, Ruth and McGwire back-to-back. That's 177 home runs combined right there... that's more than most teams in the course of a season. If they hit the exact same number of home runs they did in that year.
