Integration Era Baseball Tournament: GARAINALS ARE CHAMPS!

[Norah]

I'm not looking forward to the Live Ball Era Tournament. I'm just gonna be picking mediocre White Sox mainstays and guys I've only heard of through Baseball Reference by like round 10.

Agreed. I will be sitting that one out.

Don't be a pussy!

Nah. I think I will be a pussy.

Why? We're all going to be at the same disadvantage.

I will think about it.

We need you.

You don't really haha.

[The Argonaut]

We could do something different.

[@SkitchP]

Still holding out hope for the guys named Dave tournament.

[The Argonaut]

We could just let everyone pick their own random subset of players. Skitch wants guys named dave. I'd take black people with less than 100 career homeruns.

we should come up with 10 bizarre criteria and then do a random draw to see who gets which one.
Guys whose name starts with D
Black Guys with less than 100 HR
Guys on 7 teams or more
Only Players accused of felonies
Players described only as gritty
Chicago Cubs players who won titles in other cities
Mustaches!
Worst All Stars
Players who did a lot of drugs (non-PED's)
Future Managers

Live ball and then all time.

Okay Kevin Feige. Maybe we need an ant-man thrown in, alright?

I love Skitch's idea. Something funky like that would be a lot of fun.

I LOLd at Black Guys with less than 100 HR

[@SkitchP]

To be fair, it's argo's idea

[@SkitchP]

and black guys with less than 100 hr's was argo's joke

I saw Ant Man last week. I was pleasantly entertained.

Damn skitch, get off my dick.

[The Argonaut]

My favorite of skitch's we're 'players accused of felonies' and 'Moustaches!' I laughed.

[BigRedLedbetter]

I don't think there was enough interest in the geographic theme I had. Side note though I did make a team like that and it's super fun to sim with.

The less teams, the better the chance your teams wins it all.

Right now (and this is very loose), I'm thinking we do All-Time Franchise 2015 in October (once the 2015 stats are added to the site), then we'll do the Live Ball Era (probably in February). Then we'll have a mini-tournament with the four Era champions. Then we'll do an All-Time Tournament (probably in June) where everybody assembles a team consisting of players from any of their Era Tournament teams. That should bring us to All-Time Franchise 2016.

I have always liked the idea of doing a tournament where people kinda put forth whatever individual theme they were into (especially cause then phil could assemble his Canadian Dream Team).

[Lament]

I wonder if I can assemble a team entirely of guys who were named dropped in hip hop tracks.

"And here's another hit, Barry Bonds.

"I got mad hits like I was Rod Carew."

"I used to run base like Juan Pierre."
