Pitching: Frank Smith, Nip Winters and Billy O'Dell lead the way, a weak crop by ABA standards. Keep an eye out for Negro League star Jose Mendez, who at 22 could be stud as the ABA advances.
Prospects: The system is ranked 5th out of 32, led by the Top 15 status of both Aaron and Musial (who start at 21 and 22, respectively). Winters and 20-year-old Dontrelle Willis also crack the top 100. John Candelaria also waits in the minors.

The current plan of playing Aaron against only lefties is expected to be cast aside in short order.

You have got a good dynasty here. I look forward to following it.
This will be my team. Stan "The Man" Musial is my all-time favorite player.
I had an All-Time All-Star Association that I played for 8 seasons, but lost it in a computer hard drive failure and didn't back it up. Broke my heart.
I took the top 25 players for each original franchise and included Negro greats and Japanese greats as well.
Yankees, Athletics, Tigers, Cubs, Cards, Pirates and Giants were the top teams.
Ken Williams and Baby Doll Jacobson are two of my favorites, too.
Williams should be in the Hall of Fame.
I like your logos, too.
