Marty Fiehl - From the bucket of "Duh!" .....I was reading in (the) update (2/2014) of how Yesterday was formed, and it just hit me. I remember some of the first few years we played, and the free agent draft would be rich with usable players all the way into the 4th and 5th rounds. As we went along, it got skimpier and thinner until the 50s when it pretty much stinks. One is now trying to draft the best Innocuous batter you can find, and that's the 2nd round.

Well, the Yearbook just put the pieces of the puzzle together for me: We started Yesterday with 16 TCBA teams drawing from a pool of 24 major league teams. That left an abundance of extra guys to use from the free agent pool. As we worked our way back thru the sixties, we passed the Expansion years, so by time we hit 1960 or so, we were down to 16 major league teams as the pool for 16 TCBA teams. Hence the scrounging for talent!

So other than just the pure enjoyment that the Yearbook brings, reading about our history, it's also an educational tool! (Editor’s note: Thank you!)
