1984 Rosters

1984 Rosters

 

There are a couple of interesting things to consider with the rosters below.  There were a couple of firsts and onlys in 1984.  This, obviously, was the first draft in the CFCL.  It was also the first and only time every team walking into the draft had to draft a complete team.  The CFCL is a keeper league, meaning we can keep some players from one year to the next.  1984 was also the only time the CFCL ever had as few as 6 teams compete.  Our league usually has had between eight and twelve teams (in 1985 and 1991 we had seven teams).

 

Enough with the trivia, here are the rosters at the completion of the 1984 draft.  Listed under each team and owner is the position, player and salary at which they were drafted.

Before we wrap up for the day, it occurs to me that it was never established what we were shooting for back in 1984.  The object was to amass the most cumulative Home Runs, RBIs, Stolen Bases and highest Batting Average on offense.  On the pitching side we wanted the  most Wins, Saves, lowest ERA and lowest Ratio (hits+walks/innings pitched).

The final standings for 1984 were as follows: 

ForGoetzMeNots – 71 points

David’s Copperfields – 70

Fred’s Friars – 62

Mudville Sluggers – 60

Paul’s Penguins – 49

Electric Eels - 48
