The 1960 ReWrite History Progressive League needs two new owners for 1960. The open teams are the Indians and Giants. The Indians finished 1959 season in 6th Place in the AL at 43-119. The Giants finished in 2nd Place in the NL at 106-56. Their rosters are below. Basically this league is a standard league but the first four rounds of each rookie draft you are only able to draft players who played for your team at some point in their career. After the first four rounds, all players are eligible to be drafted by any team.

If a player only played for the defunct teams (currently CHC, CHW, MLN, PHA) they are eligible to be drafted by everyone. Any player who is only eligible for one team is assigned either a First or Second Round Draft grade and has to be drafted by that team in that round, or they open up to everyone the next round.

After the draft is over you are free to trade players to any team that you wish.
