Baseball-Reference now has boxscores going back as far as 1914:
www.baseball-reference.com/boxes
When you sign up, I'll assign you a random date (via random.org). Go to b/r.com to view the box scores from that date in history.You will be allowed to
twist only pitchers who appear in any box score from your date to any season in his career.
Position players seasons must come from the season that the box score was used!
The player could appear as a pinch runner, pinch hitter, etc - as long as you see his name in the boxscore, he's eligible.
Caveat: I will ensure every date has at least
seven (7) games played that day to ensure you have a sufficient pool of players to draw from. If not, I will generate a new date.
The particulars:
- $90m cap
- No clones, no WW, no AA, no trades, no live play
- NO DH
- Ballpark must have been played in on your date
- Allignment - chronological order
- Pitchers cannot be twisted to hitters (the Babe Ruth rule)
- MLB 110607
The first willing person to sign up can generate my date and post it to the forum (there are a couple of options on Random.org - you can run three random sequences (4-9 for month, 1-31 for day and 1914-2014 for year) or use the date generator (set range to 4-13-1914 - 9/28-2014) - obviously rerun if you get a date that's out of range.
