I am creating a sim only dream team league and each team will have a theme. this is what i have so far:

Knuckleballers, TOR - current
Steroids, OAK
Tallest, SF
Shortest, PIT
Cubans, MIA
Japanese, SEA
500 HR club, COL
3000 K Club, BAL
Negro Leagues, KC (most likely expansion Monarchs)
2 Way, DET
Speedsters, LA
Ringless, CHC
Most Rings, KC
Southpaws, NYM
30/30, ARZ
Cali Born, LAA
America's Team, TEX
International Team, TB
Todd, STL
Perfect Game, WAS
All Canadian, MON
Martinez, ATL
#1 Pick, ?

So that what I have so far. Feel free to add suggestions or changes. I am playing Knuckleballers with Toronto now. i doubt i will get through 32 teams but it's fun to mess around with this.

Pre 1900s
Never made the playoffs (Adam Dunn)
One season wonders
Valuable baseball cards

Just a few off of the top of my head. Feel free to use or not, just thought I’d give some suggestions.

I suggest Baseball Heaven for STL, seeing as that is a common nickname for St. Louis with the Cardinals there, and the team has used that slogan in the past. CD out.

Off the top of my head:

War veterans
Rule 5 picks
Died young
Best players not in Hall of Fame
Gold Glovers

What about a cocaine team?

I had one setup on Action PC a few years ago using last name starts with . . . Several letters had their own team and were loaded with talent. I used baseball reference to keep teams to about the same number of players in the database. Will have to look for it - I'm pretty sure I ended up with 12 teams total.

Love the War veterans. I started a team with players that died during their career but have since abandoned it.All of the players actually made it into the Inaugural draft for my UBL league as part of my EBL vs MLB league.

i started a team or league a few versions ago like this. It was father and sons. So all 4 Alou's, Alomars, etc. i like this idea. I'll put them on the Padres.

If you didn't have Washington already assigned you could do Mr. Smith (goes to Washington).

At 1st, i was like, "Yeah this is a fantastic idea, i'm definitely doing this" i nixed that when i got to 170 batters. I might might a league out of this instead. But i saved the link, I am sure i will do something with it eventually. In the new league I created that should be posted by Tuesday i have Moonlight Graham & Eddie Gaedel in it.
For the most part i am trying to keep the amount of players under 25 so i am not simming 100's of years on just one team.

Clovidequano Dovatha · 02-14-2021, 10:44 AM

Actually, one of my leagues has players that had real-life cups of coffee in it, or at least many players in the league had them. Other players in the league are fictional, most likely, if I remember correctly, at the time I made the league in question. The league I created I've called the Tea and Coffee League, just so you know. Interesting premise, for sure, for a team, if not a league, in any case. CD out.
