Tell me about your team

Here are the details for the baseball card set. And here is the rubric.

Please post the following information by our class on Tuesday:

Who’s in your deck? You can choose people from 1880-1949. Your deck must be interracial and include men and women. You must have one player for every position (P, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF, RF), a manager and an owner. Lastly, you’ll have to pick a home field.

      replace Wade Boggs with Frank Baker at 3rd base
      Willie Mays and Hank Aaron both played baseball prior to 1949 but did not join the Major Leagues until a few years after that date (Mays joined in '51 and Aaron in '54. Let me know if I need to change them.

      When did Wade Boggs play? Good double check on Mays & Aaron. That means you'll have to use their stats from pre-MLB on their cards.
