Here's the draft order from Captain Carl's awesome dynasty for comparison. Mays did go 2nd in that one, but pitchers went the next several picks. Still no excuse to pass on one of the top 5 players in history, but maybe that team really needed a pitcher.

3rd-Bob Friend,p
4th-Hal Brown,p
5th-Chet Nichols,p
6th-Tom Morgan,p
7th-Leo Kiely,p

I do love this one too as I've returned from a long hiatus from the boards. Interesting that you "handicap" (trading for HOF players can't be a ruled a true handicap) yourself by going after the legendary Yankee players to the immediate detriment of your team. Also, you didn't copy the real Yankees who just ripped off the Western teams by abusing trading in the game. You've almost made me able to root for the Yankees.
