Which is also badass. Maybe buy Lightning Bolt on vinyl for the lucky winner?

OKC?

I wouldn't be too concerned, your team is on borrowed time.

Don't let me win game 4. I like my chances if I can pull out game 4.

The winner gets doused in champagne by stip.

Stip has never heard of baseball.

I heard stip was gonna be in the LCS era (1969-1994) tournament.

The LCS era tournament sounds awesome.

Yeah, but not as awesome as the Dead Ball era tournament.

War years tournament

Belle has been a beast for my squad.

Post-strike (1995-2013)
LCS era (1969-1994)
Post-integration(1947-1968)
Live ball era (1919-1946)
Dead ball era (1901-1918)
Pre-AL era (1885-1900)


And then a champions tournament pitting all six winners against each other.


And then the winner of our champions tournament faces the winner of stip's Best Of Decades tournament of champions.


And then the winner of that gets a special RM Mystery Box.

He's been ridiculous.

46 HR, won a gold glove, batting title and led the league in slugging, OPS, hits and doubles...7.7 WAR as well

Damn, I wanted him. I was thinking about him in one of the middle rounds, but I already had Thome at first base. I guess I forgot, or I would've taken him for my right hander off the bench, instead of Carlos Quentin. I can't believe no one took him.

Next tourney do we wanna do the LCS era tourney or the we all pick a team and pick the best players from those teams tourney first?

I have already been looking at stats for my all Rangers team. Despite only 42 years I dig my squad. A rotation of Jenkins, Ryan, Perry and Hough would be pretty damn good.

I always really liked D Lee. I also liked Hee-Seop Choi who they traded for him. Reminded me of Jim Thome. Thought Choi would at least make a few all star games.

I strongly considered Lee for several rounds, but my late run of Cardinals put an end to that thought.

Your all time Cardinals team would match up well with any other team.

If people still want to do another tournament at some point after this, I'd be down for either. I guess it depends on how we all feel about drafting. I mean, it's fun, but it's also super time-consuming. The all-time franchise team tournament allows us to skip the draft, which is either gonna be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your view.

I had Derrek Lee on my list, but I knew deep in my heart that I wasn't gonna use a season by a Cub on my team.
