In. TBD

Changed my mind again. I was just too lazy to do research. I'm going to do the international team. Each player from a different country

Ok

I'm in, TBD!

Nobody is doing the number thing, so I'll (tentatively) go with all seasons end with 6.

Here's my roster for verification and bragging rights:
I did a Country Soup theme. Every player is from a different country.

Catchers:
Mike Piazza (USA)
Bruce Bochy (France)

Infielders:
Bobby Avila (Mexico)
Edgar Renteria (Colombia)
Miguel Cabrera (Venezuela)
Jimmy Austin (Wales)
Horace Clarke (Virgin Islands)

Outfielders:
Sammy Sosa (Puerto Rico)
Larry Walker (Canada)
Ichiro Suzuki (Japan)
Shin-Soo Choo (South Korea)
Gerald Young (Honduras)
Patsy Donovan (Ireland)
Devon White (Jamaica)
Dave Brain (England)

Starting Pitchers:
Pedro Martinez (Dominican Republic)
Luis Tiant (Cuba)
Dennis Martinez (Nicaragua)
Bert Blyleven (Netherlands)
Otto Hess (Switzerland)

Relief Pitchers:
Mariano Rivera (Panama)
Hong-Chih Kuo (Taiwan)
Grant Balfour (Australia)
Kenley Jansen (Curaçao)
Danny Graves (South Vietnam)

I don't think this team will do very good but it was fun to research. I feel like if someone else did this theme, the team would be very similar because finding quality infielders is hard. Outfield would be different but most countries best players were relievers so I had to sacrifice some for other positions. I also found 53 different countries have a MLB player but only around 40 have one where there were enough PA or IP to qualify onto this website.

May 26th--every player has to a team mate of somebody born on May 26th or born on May 26th themself

I'll join up - - All players names, either their first name or their last name, will begin with the letter "M"

Thanks!

How about - - All players are from a California based team

how bout one time San diego Padres in non Padre years.... example Adrian Gonzales must use a dodger or redsox year

I'll play. "Happy Birthday to me." All players appear in a box score on 6-8-57, twisted to any season of their career.

I'll get all the new sign ups taken care of later this morning.

"What's in a name? that which we call [B.J. Upton Stinks] By any other name would smell [like an outhouse on a summer day]."

William Shakespeare - Romeo and Juliet

My team will have 2014 B.J. Upton Stinks, and he MUST have 600 PA for my team to be eligible for the playoffs. Every other player must have a last name starting with B, J, U, P, T, O, or N. No clones unless I want to clone B.J. Upton Stinks (which I do not).

My other idea was to have a roster limited to players who share a first name with one of my three sons, but their names are Greg, Walter, Albert, Stan, Babe, Ted, Mickey, Addie, Pedro, Dennis, Craig, Ozzie, Chipper, Nap, Lou and Bob. You guys might have thought I was trying to pull a fast one.
