If #BRL doesn't make a second team, we'll need another, so your Mets team may just be called upon.
I'd love to do a Braves or Brewers team. If needed.

It feels kinda dirty to be considering 19th century players for my team. Supposedly, there were some dominant Pirates pitchers back then. I really don't think I can do it. Kinda feel obligated to at least have some name recognition of my staff.

I wish someone would take the Royals in honor of their return to the playoffs this year. And, also to give some props to one of my favorite speed men of all time, Willie Wilson. That guy racked up triples and stolen bases.

As a Midwesterner I wish someone would pick up KC as well.

As you are a Midwesterner, maybe you should take that duty. Dan Quisenberry would probably send you a Christmas card this year. :thumbsup:

Well, I kinda wanted to do an NL team since I have a Rangers team. But maybe I can do a Royals one as my second one. Hmmmm. Tough call.

I'd rather have one from Onix Conception. Dat stash!

For you not to have Pink Hawley would be an absolute travesty.

Wow. Small world. If there isn't some joke I'm missing.

I figured you for about 35-40, Skitch.

I honestly just forgot he passed for a second. Much respect for the Quiz growing up. Dat delivery! My Grandpa who passed away a few years ago was a KC Royals fan from day one.

It's up to you. Braves, Brewers, or Royals.
