    In the history thread:
    1.15 Nap Lajoie 2B 1910 (Heyelander)
    ...and later on...
    19.15 Jimmy Williams 2B/3B 1901


    Unless I'm mistaken, it really looks like Heye got totally screwed over
    Wow. That seems pretty unfair for Heye.

    • Well, there's a lesson to be learned here. When it comes to VD, don't trust Johnny.

      :biggrin:
      Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

        it's not like it's the difference between my first win and continued obscurity. I won't miss much sleep over it.

        • We won't be starting the new VD for about 4 weeks or so ... so please register interest in the VD 3 thread, and keep in touch. I'll start posting polls next week sometime. The first post of the thread will contain a summary of the discussion ... I'll try and keep it updated.

          If you have any ideas about the next draft, you can propose them in the thread ... then I'll add them to the poll options. Don't be shy ... I'm looking at you Pogues.

          I won't add anything to the polls that doesn't at least have a second ... we can't include everything with such a small sample.

          • For the records, do we keep the final scores / order with the 1910 or the 1901 pick?

            We probably should change the 1910 pick to 1901, because the Lajoie 1910 year was never selected. That would reverse Feral and ElDiablo's final position. It would also seem unfair to punish Heyelander for making an illegal pick when everyone missed it, but also unfair to mjl who will now get the wooden spoon.

            I'll take a * if we give Heyelander the honorary wooden spoon

                  My fantasy football team sucks, I'm already out of the football survivor pool, I'm tired of Obama, I'm tired of Romney, Baseball season is nearly over, and my taxes are nearly done. Is it time to start thinking about another Vintage Draft ?

                      For some reason this post got me thinking about the Phillies. I've seen 2 of their games live, one was this one

                      Philadelphia Phillies beat Chicago Cubs (11-2). Jun 14, 1984, Attendance: 23373, Time of Game: 2:23. Visit Baseball-Reference.com for the complete box score, play-by-play, and win probability


                      Nice to see Carlton and Schmidt at Wrigley.

                      The other was a 1993 World Series game. It was the night before the highest scoring WS game in history. It was rain delayed and the Phillies stunk it up that night. My wife is still mad at me that I didn't tell her it was outdoors (she was used to the Kingdome). Oh Well

                        I'm in and can probably convince a friend to join if we're short of people here. Can someone email me if it gets up and running (which I hope it does)?

                            • Shall we? I will have a bit more time on my hands over the next few weeks. Can start putting the polls up this week.

                              The new fathers should be smoothly moving into reduced-sleep-mode by now.
