One thing I've noticed is at times if you get a certain player like Mantle in one of your random league inaugural drafts, it's not uncommon to get him in the next couple leagues you create as well. He might be a young whippersnapple in one league, a 30 year old another and an old fella in the next. Then when he finally doesn't show up, it may be a while before you see him again. For years I would never get Greg Maddux, then when I finally did, it seemed like I couldn't get rid of him. Reggie Smith is a guy I get a lot. And yes Paul Molitor. Markus must get royalties for every Molitor appearance. I get a lot of Pete Rose and lots 30 and above Kirby Puckett.
