I had a team in Supers League I and II (i made the playoffs in I, then lost 100+ games and wandered off in II), so I'll only pick 11 points on the basis of 'ooh i know some of those guys'

1976 NL All Stars (5)
1960 New York Yankees (3)
1895 Philadelphia Phillies (2)
1931 Cleveland Indians (1)

the team will be a resuscitated Senadores de San Juan; please let me know if you need a new 150x150 image.

i'll pick players later. it'll be nice to see the people i specifically drafted after seeing the names of fail

edit: ok here's some poo poo i googled. i lost the actual image long ago, and that's probably how i found it in the first place anyway.
here's a beautifully pixelated logo:

here's a cool old logo:
