>>Joe, I was never an X-Files fan but I did watch the (excellent) episode you are referring to and I don't think that's stretching it at all -- I think it's a great addition!<<

Ah, perhaps I will keep Mr. Exley. I also have Rooster Rodriguez and King Carl Johnson who really were only a Saturday Night Live sketch. I wouldn't even mind going up to 20 player so that the expansion teams get a crack at 1 more starter.

>>Man, you forgot about Cool Papa Bell, the fastest player ever. The rumor was that he could turn the light switch off, and run and get in bed before it went dark. I would be interested in joining if there is room.<<

I am a big Cool Papa Bell fan, but I want to keep this league to fictional players. Plust Cool Papa would definitely dominate this league in the extreme.

>>Just make sure you rate 10 of them with Babe Ruth type ratings to keep it historically accurate and you will be set.<<

I'm trying to rate it based on the quality of some of the first players to make the switch in real life. You had guys like Robinson, Doby, Irvin, Campanella, Newcombe who became real stars and others like Joe Black and Paige who were past their prime. Plust their were the players who came later like Mays and Banks. My plan is to make several real Hall of Fame caliber players.
