"On the league info page, added a column to indicate the season that owner entered the league. NOTE THAT WE ONLY STARTED TRACKING THIS WHEN SINGLE SIGN ON WAS PUT IN So for old owners, it is incorrect. We will correct this year for your league, if and only if, you provide the year for all 16 owners and provide it in this format in Admin Requests & Problems:
Team ID, Username, Year Entered the league"
This change will show up on the league info page. I like it since it will make it easier to tell who is a veteran and who is new. If each of you will provide the information in a reply to this post, I will organize the information and send it to the Admin ASAP.
By the way, does anyone know where to locate the five digit team ID number? If so, please let me know. If not, I will find out. Thanks.

The User ID Number is on the Edit Profile page. Mine is 30194. I'm an original member of the Tim Raines League. Thus, I started in the 1950 season.

P.S. Several seasons ago, I asked the league members to tell a little about themselves in order to see what common interests we had, and maybe spark a little conversation on the boards. I got about a half dozen responses, but now with some new members, maybe we can try it again.

I searched the message board and found that the Team ID may be found by clicking on a team listed on the standings page (or click on each team available on the roster page, or ...). The Team ID is the number at the end of the URL. Thus, the Ramblers' Team ID is 21337, the Kings' Team ID is 21252, etc.
If each of you would provide me with your team name, your username, and the year you entered the league, I will assemble the Team ID numbers.
Thanks.

This is an experiment. I just finished my first season in a dynasty league after taking over a pretty good team. I improved the team by 5 games over last year, and wound up in the wild card race until the final few games. If not for a rash of injuries in the final 15 or so games (lost my #3, 4, and 5 hitters.. and two of their primary backups... along with a couple of vital pitchers), I might have managed to leap into the post season. Hopefully I can keep my guys out of the hospital ward this season. I'm here taking over Baltimore to see if I can take a team at the bottom of the heap and turn it into a competitive team. Here's to hoping I can pick a couple (or 5) gems out of the draft pool.

I'm not sure of some of the others, but I'm fairly sure that other members beginning in 1950 are: Boston, Cleveland, Washington, Kansas City, and Milwaukee.

I'm really enjoying this, so I plan to be around for a while.

Hello. Yes, my first season with the Pittsburgh team was '68. I did change the name briefly, but changed it back because I realized I liked the idea of keeping your traditions going. Plus, if some new owner took over a MLB team I was a fan of, I'd hate it if he changed the name.I'm really enjoying this, so I plan to be around for a while.

P.S. Elite Giants and Yankees, I hope you join us for some more TRL thrills.

The League Info page now lists the correct Owner Since year for each of us. Nearly 40% of us are original owners! I think that is pretty impressive.P.S. Elite Giants and Yankees, I hope you join us for some more TRL thrills.
