The League
We publish the league’s own records here, and we re-count them before we write a line about them.

The league itself: who holds which franchise, what the standings say, and how the roster of every team was assembled. Everything on these pages comes off the league’s own paperwork — the draft table, the trade ledger and the published standings sheets. None of it is reconstructed from memory, and none of it is rounded to make a point.
14 managers run one franchise each across three sports. A team carries 49 drafted players: 13 in football, 25 in baseball and 11 in basketball, plus one supplemental spot. The draft that fills all of it runs 50 rounds and 700 picks, which is why the board reads more like a ledger than like a draft room whiteboard. On top of that sit 74 completed trades, every one of them with both sides listed.
Five record pages carry the whole archive, and they are deliberately plain. Where a cell is empty in the source sheet it stays empty here; where two sheets disagree about a manager’s name, both spellings are printed as filed rather than silently merged. The one thing worth knowing before reading the standings: the league did not keep the same fourteen managers across every cycle, so a name that appears in 2015 and again in 2018 is not always the same franchise.
