$100M Bookend Franchise Twist-Season 16 (FULL) Topic

Season 1 of this league started out with bookend seasons that were 20 years apart, but we’ll be shortening the years of separation by 1 year with each new season. So, in season 16 you’ll need to choose a franchise and 2 seasons of that franchise from years 1930 to the present that are exactly 5 years apart (e.g. 1940 & 1945 Giants, 1997 & 2002 Dodgers, etc.) Then build your best $100M team by twisting the players who appeared on the team’s active roster in either of your 2 chosen seasons per https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues. As long as a player was on your franchise’s active roster in one of your two chosen seasons, they can be twisted to any season of their careers, including seasons prior to 1930 and seasons when they played with a different franchise.

No DH, AAA, WW, clones, trades, or injuries. Your home field must be a home field used by your franchise in one of your chosen 2 seasons. Alignment will be random, unless any owners enter more than one team. Franchises and seasons aren't necessarily exclusive to one owner, so more than one owner may end up using the same seasons and franchise.

This is a public league, so I can't save spots via forum posts. Please join by entering your team in MLB143105. Thanks!
