C 1939 Willard Hershberger - a back-up catcher, his team loses two consecutive games that he starts. having gone hitless, he blames himself, saying that if the primary catcher had started, the team would've won both games. he slit his throat in a Boston hotel bathtub, DIED.
3B 1913 John Dodge - hit by a pitch, DIED.

Darryl Kile is worth a roster spot.

If we have enough teams we can start this Monday or Tuesday.

I need to finish tweaking my roster. Gives me something to do when work is slow this weekend.

I'd have to count.

my team is already loaded.

I feel like Randy Johnson should have been there.

I've created my team. Do I need to load it to a group or something?

I was trying to keep it under 130 and I didnt want a team of nothing but dicks and johnsons. I guess I can remove Dick Radatz and then let it put a starter in the bullpen since everyone is above me in salary.

Here's the current Siblings Team ($142,968,811) if necessary. The bench is awful because I spent all my cap space on the regulars.

I think the first name "Randy" makes his name perfect for your team. It's not like you would be adding him just for his Johnson.

okay, i took off dick radatz and some other guy named dick and added Walter and Randy Johnson.

I suppose. The hard part is all my worst players are the ones with the best names like Dick Pole, Johnny Dickshot and Pumpsie Green.

Well I guess the important thing is that those guys get spots on your team.

Its very important. It's the whole point of this tournament! I honestly dont even care if we ever run the games.

I just decided to make it a bit more challenging... now all pairs of siblings had to be taken from the same year.
