There are way fewer deadball teams in this league (compared to the 80M league)... Only 11. It's a lot tougher when you only have 4-6 usable pitchers.

It's interesting that there are three instances of overlapping 3-year teams selected more than once...

2019-21 Dodgers (selected 6 times) and 2020-22 Dodgers (14 times) --> 20 total teams
1996-98 Braves (5 times) and 1997-99 Braves (5 times) --> 10 total teams
1968-70 Orioles (6 times) and 1969-71 Orioles (2 times) --> 8 total teams

You can also add...
1942-44 Cardinals (5 times) and 1941-43 Cardinals (1 time) --> 6 total teams
1908-10 Cubs (1 time) and 1909-11 Cubs (2 times) and 1910-12 Cubs (1 time) --> 4 total teams

Almost went with the 1901-1903 Pirates and 1919-1921 Giants and am surprised neither was chosen at all. But agreed about the limited number of pitchers making deadball teams slightly riskier choices. The bigger problem with them was that finding one that had both good XBH and good pitching

I tried over and over with the 1886-88 Wolverines and could never fit it under 101m with the limited choices involved but they would have been awesome. I finally gave up on them and built good 1942-44 Yankee and 42-44 Cardinal teams I liked. In the end, though, I went with the 09-11 Cubs which I figured would be popular. The very first roster submitted in my league that I checked was contrarian23’s identical 09-11 Cubs. I figured they would be the first two of many, but it turned out the next 70 entries were different (although a little Cub overlap as schwarze indicated)

I tried the same with the Wolverines. Couldn't make the roster fit under the cap.

I tried combinations of the 05-09 Cubs but could only ID 24 eligible players, so ended up sticking with my first build, the 41-43 Cardinals.

This was me with the Browns. Couldn’t resist a Caruthers, Foutz, Tip O’Neill outfield with Nat Hudson and Silver King in the rotation. Even with all scrubs, couldn’t fit it under the cap.

This… I tried to make this work so hard… King just tipped too much on a single season salary and I couldn’t get the $25/$25/$25 split to work
