Let's do a modern take on a classic theme. Players seasons will be from 1959-2025.

Alaska and Hawaii were the last two states admitted to the union in 1959 so this is a great starting point!

Select an exclusive state or region from the list below. We are only using the 50 states plus the nation's capital.

Must use at least one player from every state if you choose a combo team.

League Rules

• $100 million cap
• NO: AAA, clones, DH, injuries, minor leagues, trades, or waiver wire
• Must select a stadium from your state. If one isn't availabe use a home park of any player on your roster
• 24 team league with standard playoff format
• Divisions aligned georgraphically
