I wanted to try a fun concept that eliminates some of the more familiar faces we see in most leagues.
The concept is as follows:
Pick 2 teams who finished 2nd place in their division or league WITHOUT making the playoffs. Each of your 2 teams will be exclusive to you and then placed on a BLACKLIST at the conclusion of the season. You do not have to choose 2 teams from the same season.
Choose 12 players from each of your chosen teams using baseball-reference and twist them to any season of their career EXCEPT for their highest AND lowest salary seasons in WIS.
Using Babe Ruth as an example, off limits would be his 1921 and 1935 seasons.
Your final player will be a WILDCARD from any season who finished 2nd in WAR for either Position Players or Pitchers.
The season used also MAY NOT be this player's highest salaried season in WIS.
This WILDCARD player will determine your BALLPARK selection. It must be the home park of that player during that season.
If the ballpark of your WILDCARD selection is not available, you may use either the WIS Park, a ballpark in the same city from that season, or a home ballpark used within 3 years of that season by the team of the WILDCARD player.

- $110m cap

I will make my selection once we have 12 teams signed up.
