PLBL - All-Time Random Debut Dynasty. Where Legends Play.
Prelude: Ever wonder what it would be like for Babe Ruth to face Sandy Koufax? Or have Barry Bonds and his godfather, Willie Mays in the same outfield? How would Dead-ball Era Great Christy Mathewson fare against modern-day hitters? All these What-ifs can be answered here.
I will be using vesuvius's All-Time Random Debut Database from this thread for this dynasty:

From his description, here is what it does:
Quote:
An alternate universe containing every player to ever play in the major leagues, with their debut years mixed up/randomized between 1990 and 2065. Thus you can have Babe Ruth playing against Barry Bonds, etc. (in theory, depending on when they randomly show up in the game).
It is designed for use with a historical game beginning in 2000 (that gives a solid set of players for the 30 MLB teams in the year 2000). As the players are spread out until 2065, that gives many years with which to play the game.

Intro: It's the year 2000, and scientists unveiled the results of a century-long secret, government sponsored operation called the "Brooklyn Project." In cooperation with the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, scientists have created a time machine with a DNA input that brings a previously living ballplayer, back to life form. By using DNA samples from Cooperstown's "DNA bank" one can take a strand of hair from Babe Ruth, a fingernail from Nolan Ryan, or an apple core bitten from the mouth of Christy Mathewson, place it in the machine and within seconds, that player will step out of that machine as a young player, ready to play ball.
In response, the MLB has immediately renounced it rights to all current players, who will now be placed in the database for future harvesting. The "Pro Legends Baseball League" has been formed, and all 30 MLB teams have signed on to play. They will preserve their team names, logos, stadiums, etc.
Every player who has ever played a Major League game is in the Cooperstown DNA Database. Unfortunately, a negligent intern failed to properly label each DNA sample with their respective owner, and thus each incoming crop of players (draft classes) will be totally random and unknown.
PLBL officials have tossed 999 DNA samples consisting of sunflower seed shells, chewing tobacco spit, jock strap pubes, and other bodily fluids from all sorts of different orifices into a bucket. These random unknown samples will be used to reproduce their respective owners and populate the league in an inaugural draft. The draft order will be set randomly, in a serpentine style. For each amateur draft, the PLBL will choose unidentified samples from the random lot (Laymans terms: The draft pool is completely random every year and picked from a database of every player who has ever played an inning. So, like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get). Modern-day (Year 2000) baseball rules and finances apply.
Let's play ball!
Note: I will be taking control of the Baltimore Orioles for this dynasty, but will include interesting notes and story lines throughout the league. This is my first run at this, so pardon the simple formatting and such, I'll get it all figured out soon.
Editors Note: In searching for a logo and name for the league, I realized I "borrowed" the logo and name from another OOTP league. All credit goes to them for the name and logo I am using in game.
