S21 - 41 Wrigleyville Anniversary Team

If you take a look down the right side of the blog, you'll see a listing of the 20th Anniversary all-time Wrigleyville 1st & 2cd teams.  There's some really good fake ballplayers listed there.

That team was developed in a league wide vote.  If I recall correctly, we had a nomination period where each owner could submit something like three players per position.  The five highest nominees were then voted upon, with the top guys getting the 1st team selection and the next guy in line the 2ced team designation.

We've played about another 20 seasons since that time and I thought what a better time to bring something like this back?  Throughout S42 we will go through this process again, to come up up with a 2cd generation All-Time Wrigleyville team.   Details will follow, but one quick thought is to ban all the guys who made the team the first time around.  This would be for those players who primarily played after S20, but I don't want to overlook someone who played from say S16-S31.  As long as that guy wasn't on one of the two teams, he'd be eligible. 

Those of you around during that time, I'd appreciate some thoughts as to how best do this.  I've got some initial thoughts on how to go about this, but I'll wait a bit before posting.

At the moment, go ahead and check out the history of your franchise.  Sometimes guys get overlooked.
