FBD'S 70th Birthday party (Full Again) Topic



HAPPY BIRTHDAY FATBOYDAD54
You are all invited to my 70th birthday party. Help me celebrate seventy wonderful years in this country that I love. I promise you a fun drafting experience, a competitive league full of the finest owners What if Sports has to offer and last but not least a piece of "virtual" birthday cake for everyone.

BIRTHDAY RULES
1.) Choose a player that was born in 1954. This player will be exclusive to you (see note on Rule #5) and you may draft any season you like. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/majors/1954-births.shtml

2.) Choose a player from the 1954 season. This player is NOT exclusive, and you must use his 1954 season on your roster.

3.) Choose a player who was a rookie in 1954. He is NOT exclusive, and you can use any of his seasons that you like.

4.) Choose a player who retired in 1954. He is NOT exclusive, and you can use any of his season that you like.

5.) Choose a player who was born the same year as you, any of his seasons that you like. Any owner born on the same year (1954) as me is exempt from exclusive provision in Rule #1.

6.) Once you have these 5 core players, you will draft 4 teammates for each. They may be from any season that they were teammates, no twisting. You may use another owner's exclusive as long he is a teammate of one of your 5 core players.

7.) When you join post, your exclusive player born in 1954 and the year you were born. Don't be shy. I know there are many who are even older than me.

8.) Alignment will be by birth year. All you young whippersnappers will be separated from all us old geezers ( I mean wise and experienced elders).


9.) I will pick my exclusive after 12 owners have joined. I will then set up the league and send out the League #.

Happy 70th! I choose the man who lead my fantasy team to a title in 1988, Andre “the Hawk” Dawson. You both have 11 years on me as I was born the year the Twins won their first pennant in 1965.

Mike, I will go with Tito Landrum as my exclusive. My birth year is the same as yours...1954.

Question...since we were born in 1954, will we be able to choose any of the exclusive players already chosen for our rule #5 player?
