League Philosophy (Pickin' the Franchise Corn Field)

Ever wonder what your team would be like with a few great historic franchise players planted in with your current franchise roster? NATL gives you the opportunity to fulfill that dream! Consequently, franchise roster purity is our main emphasis with limited trades and limited free agent acquisitions. Historic franchise players (think of it as YOUR PERSONAL franchise free agent pool) can be added to the active roster to give opportunity to see how teams would fair with a mix of these players joining the players of today (Now and Then). This is a keepers league. There will be no contracts. As each real MLB season ends, your team will acquire rookies in coordination with the beginning of the next NATL season.
