6/22 teams either from 1930 or 1931 and a fairly even spread of teams represented.
1930 seems to be the big draw with the Yankees, Cubs, Phillies, and Senators all representing.
I took the 1930 Senators, my last Twins/Senators only selection for the draft year as I took the 1995 Tribe for the Chicagoland.
Here is how the 1930 Washington squad lines up:
1. Sam Rice (F) CF-2
2. Joe Cronin (F) SS-10
3. Heinie Manush (F) LF-2
4. Joe Judge 1B-5
5. Sammy West (F) RF-2
6. Buddy Myer (F) 2B-8
7. Ossie Bluege (F) 3B-5
8. Pinky Hargrave C-8
9. Pitcher
A quick preview of 1-4:
Speed up and down the lineup, and fielding 1 all the way.
The Rotation:
1. General Crowder Bz
2. Bump Hadley By
3. Ad Liska B
4. Firpo Marberry Cz (and he can hit)
Not much of a pen in the 1930s:
Gimpy Brown Cz
Sad Sam Jones Cz
I can pull Gimpy out of the pen if I am in a critical spot and the opposing batter has a lot of 9s.
I probably won't use the bench much. Sheriff Harris is (F) and can play OF as well as the others if I need a fast runner, but with no (S) players I doubt I will need a pinch-runner.
