It's time to fill the long gap between the end of football season (designated as the day after the Lions end their season!) and Opening Day 2017 with yet another Strat-O-Matic Retro League. This time, we fire up the Hot Tub Time Machine and bring back to life EVERY Hall of Famer!

Every at bat will be a dream matchup! Imagine Babe Ruth digging in to face the gigantic Randy Johnson! Sandy Koufax vs Honus Wagner, Joe DiMaggio against Cy Young. Simply the best vs the best. All recent inductees like Ken Griffey Jr., Mike Piazza, and Frank Thomas are available for this league. Also for our very first time ever, we have the opportunity to draft Hall of Fame legends from the Negro Leagues, like Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston, Turkey Stearnes, and Cool Papa Bell!
We have enough Hall of Famers to fill 10 teams of 24 players each, with 8 ''leftovers" that can be picked up off the waiver pile on a first-come, first-served basis if needed. There will be an online draft, followed by the creation of each team's Computer Manager file, then the simulation of about 10 days worth of action at a time with all stats updated, box scores and game stories generated, etc.
Should be a very interesting and fun season, hoping to get all managers set up right away and schedule the draft as soon as possible!
