Best Hitting Team/Best Pitching Team Twist (Full) Topic

MLB112252 (23in)
160 mil, pick one team for hitting (example:1928 A's) and one for pitching (example: 1909 Naps). You can now add one pitcher from your hitting team (Example: Grove) and one hitter from your pitching team (example: Lajoie). Now that your teams are selected you can twist your players to any year they played. Use one of your teams stadiums. yes to DH, no to AAA/Waiver/Clones/and Trades. The same teams may be used, but not the same combinations. Owners may have two teams if they wish (one will be placed in each league).

I'll probably kick myself for not taking one of those cubs teams, or a modern team with some good relievers. Oh well I'm excited about this league (there should be some good matchups). I am anxious to see if anyone uses some of my teams.

I have as much fun making the teams as I do playing the season!
3/30/2015 6:18 AM
I'm in, let me figure out who I'm taking. 
3/30/2015 8:16 AM
'34 Yankees + Lefty Gomez; '06 Cubs + Jimmy Sheckard<br />
<br />
<br />
Changed my mind--more fun would be '40 Red Sox hitters with Grove and '66 Dodger pitchers with Roseboro
3/30/2015 2:18 PM (edited)
Ok, tentatively 1911 Pirates pitching + Honus, 1927 A's hitting + Grove
3/30/2015 12:55 PM
No hurry guys have fun with it - all those teams sound killer!
3/30/2015 5:54 PM
Grove a popular add-on so far!
3/30/2015 6:07 PM
Looking at combos - it's REALLY hard to get away from those late 20s Athletics.  There's gonna be a lot of duplicates.

For now, in with the '28 A's hitters with Lefty Grove, and the 2006 Dodgers pitchers with Nomar
3/31/2015 3:58 PM
I will try something a little different.

Hitting: 2005 Yankees (Rivera)

Pitching: 1955 Indians (Kiner)

I also love those hitting 1930-31 Cubs and those 27 Yankees are always a great choice. Those 1903-08 cubs pithing is awesome as well
3/31/2015 7:45 PM
OK, probably not for the last time, I'm going to change my mind. Switching to the 1933 Cards offense (+Vance) and the 1914 Red Sox pitching (+Speaker)
4/1/2015 8:06 AM
No Problem

I thought that that 34 Yankee /06 Cubs sounded pretty cool.
