Historical Draft League with a storyline twist - starting in 1995 taking place as result of the player strike in '94-95. 26 teams primarily in the same markets as the real major league teams that existed at the time. The powers that be decide to go all-in and start a new league to lure the players in the MLBPA facing a 1995 season that could have been played with replacement players. So you'll have the same markets you're used to, as similar to the original teams colors / concept as creatively possible - but instead of American League and National League, you have Western Conference and Eastern Conference, each split into 3 divisions.

Each league will have 3 division winners and a wild card like the rule adopted by MLB in 1994 that still exists to this day. Interleague Play would start immediately. League would draft from the players available in 1995 - first two rounds allows you to pick two players from your market, after that it's a full-out serpentine draft!

For instance, the Chicago owner will have to select two players from the Cubs & White Sox rosters as they stood on August 12, 1994. New York from the Yankees and Mets. Boston from the Red Sox. Montreal is the only city that has been contracted and Phoenix is the only market that doesn't really exist in 1995 (this was done to give the West an extra team - I had to reluctantly move St. Louis, KC, and Minnesota west because it was too east heavy) so Phoenix, as the odd team out will get to pick from the Montreal roster.

Those two players would get a "ULB Inaugural Clause" 7-year-contract at their existing salary level with a no-trade clause. So unless that player retires or you release them, they will be a member of your ballclub until the end of the 2001 season so select carefully!
