Yankees over the Phillies in real life. Eddie Stanky and Phil Rizzuto led in batting WAR, Ewell Blackwell and Ned Garver led in pitching. All rules are on page 1 of each draft thread. Only a pitcher who started a game can start in Real Life. Any batter can play 1B or corner OF, SS can play anywhere but C, and 2B can also play CF or 3B. Fatigue must stay above 74%. Violation of any rule results in at least a 1 slot draft penalty.
