HOFLife Season 1 ($120M) FULL Topic

ROSTER BUILD

You'll be given a random Hall of Famer inducted as a player.  Because of box score availability, only those who debuted after 1913 are in the pool.  You will choose any version of your HOFer, as well as:
  • 2 players born in the same year (LINK - type any year into URL)
  • 2 players with the same birthday (LINK)
  • 4 players from the box score of his debut regular season game (a link will be on his baseball-reference player page)
  • 4 players that debuted in the same season as him (LINK - type any year into URL)
  •  
  • 4 players that retired in the same season as him (LINK - type any year into URL)
  • 4 players from the box score of his final regular season game (a link will be on his baseball-reference player page)
  • 2 players with the same "deathday" (LINK)
  • 2 players that died in the same year (LINK - type any year into URL)
IMPORTANT

If your HOFer is still alive, you will choose 4 players each for the birth year and birthday categories instead of 2.

The other 23 assigned HOFers will be blacklisted, but any other HOFer is fair game.  To allow people to start putting rosters together immediately, I'm posting the list of our first 24 HOFers below.

TWISTING is allowed for all season-specific connections. EDITED TO CLARIFY - You can twist all players
