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)

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.
Perfect.

Especially if you are being pretty liberal in your definition of name dropping, given how often Cash is mentioned.

I like that. Just not feeling it right now. Something in September could be alright.

I'm actually getting excited about a "create-your-own-wacky-criteria" tournament.

I kinda am to. Although I like the notion of all the participants submitting one and then reassigning them. Maybe a short 20 game season or something?

It'll be like when the major leaguers go to Japan. No one gives a shit, but they seem to have fun.

I think I'd be more into making my own team based on my own subset. I wouldn't be as excited about someone else's random idea.

Even Michael Jordan missed game winning shots. It's ok.

I see what you're saying. But there are ideas that people are passionate about--like phil and the Canadians. or me and the powerless blacks...
maybe the other people in the tourney have to vote to OK that your team is sufficiently limiting to make it fair.

I doubt anyone would fight me hard on a Heartland team.

College baseball rules!

Considering I go to the CWS just about every year that could be a pretty stellar. Avila would be on it. :thumbsup:
