That 70's League--LEAGUE CREATED

PostSun Oct 19, 2014 3:50 pm

I watched Game 7 of the 1979 World Series the other day, and I thought it would be fun to remember some of the great teams of the 1970s in this Franchise League. The 1975 Big Red Machine, 1979 Pirates "Family", the Swingin' A's, the 1970 Orioles, and others. We will randomize for draft order, then draft one of the 12 1970s rosters below.

The rosters are CLOSE to the season roster of each team. Players were added who played for the franchise in close proximity to the given season, or were added to help with competitive balance. For instance, Randy Johnson was added to the 79 Expos, Norm Cash was added to the 79 (really 84) Tigers, and Darryl Strawberry will be playing the part of Reggie Jackson for the 78 Yankees. Since Reggie is such a crucial component of both the A's and Yankees of the 70s, I gave Reggie to the A's and gave Strawberry to the Yankees, since Darryl's season was close to Reggie's 77-78 seasons.


Unless specifically stated, you may use ANY CARD to represent a player. Each roster has enough players to create a team, and usually enough extra players for you to make some decisions about which players to use.

NO TRADES. Players are assigned to only one roster. You may not pick up a player if he isn't on your team's roster.

Andy (or anyone else if they know) - is this a 12 season commitment?
