In all my years playing SIM, I've never actually created a theme. I remember back when there were hundreds of different theme leagues, unique builds, to choose from. I left the site for a year or so, and when I came back there seems to be a lot less themes to choose from. So what the heck, let's create something new! I'm sure a variation of this has probably been attempted, but I can't recall it.

THE NUMBERS HAVE IT
$110m
WIS Standard Format - 24 teams/162 games
YES: DH both leagues
NO: Clones, WW, Trades, Injuries, AAA
BALLPARKS: Exclusive ballpark for each owner (see below)

RULES:

You will utilize baseball-reference.com for this roster build. This page linked below will allow you to choose your players. ****SEE WILD CARD PLAYER NOTE BELOW*****

https://www.baseball-reference.com/friv/numbers.cgi

1. Pretty simple! You will choose one uniform number, which will be EXCLUSIVE TO YOU. Search for that uniform number on the page above.

2. The list of players generated is your player pool. You may twist each player to ANY SEASON in their careers, not just the ones listed as when they wore that specific number.

3. Each team will be allotted ONE WILD CARD PLAYER. That player can be anybody available in the WIS database, but their salary MUST be under $10m. Wild Card Player is not exclusive, you may use any player.

4. THERE IS NO $200K exception, so build accordingly.

5. BALLPARKS: Ballparks WILL BE EXCLUSIVE. .When you choose your uniform number, please also list the ballpark you will be using.

Once we have 6 teams choose their numbers/ballparks, I will choose mine as Commish.
