I was thinking the other day, perhaps to avoid any cease and desist orders from the English Premier League, we should name the tiers of the RAB 120™ something other than the initial names I threw out. Something more Yankee-centric.
So, how about this:
Tier 1: The RAB Ruth League
Tier 2: The RAB Mantle League
Tier 3: The RAB Gehrig League
Tier 4: The RAB DiMaggio League
Tier 5: The RAB Jeter League
Tier 6: The RAB Berra League
Six tiers, named after the six highest career WAR leaders in Yankee history (counting only their time in pinstripes).
Do you like that, or should we stick with the original name format?
I kinda liked the original format, but I’m totally cool with this too. If we’re going to go with Yankee numbers, maybe we should just go with players who wore those numbers? Like:
Tier 1: RAB Billy Martin League
Tier 2: RAB Derek Jeter League (or Bobby Murcer League if we don’t want to use current players)
Tier 3: RAB Bambino League
Tier 4: RAB Iron Horse League
Tier 5: RAB Clipper League
Tier 6: RAB Nose-Picker League
Or we could use more obscure players, like:
Tier 1: RAB Snuffy Stirnweiss League
Tier 2: RAB Wayne Tolleson League
Tier 3: RAB Cliff Mapes League
Tier 4: RAB Iron Horse League (not much we can do with this one)
Tier 5: RAB Nolen Richardson League
Tier 6: RAB Steve Sax League
I don’t know, just some ideas.
I like the Career WAR leaderboard. RAB loves advanced metrics; tying our naming format to WAR would be a nice touch, IMO.
Either way, no matter how you assign the names, I still prefer the old format. But really, I couldn’t care less. Name away.
Perhaps we’ll put it to a vote amongst the final 120 owners.
Haha, no… That would be awful. Just run with it.
Okay, then, let’s decide amongst the two of us, by fiat.
Email me.
Shouldn’t the leagues be named after managers?
Joe McCarthy (7) more overall wins
Casey Stegel (7)
Miller Huggins (3) Died early, would have been #1
Joe Torre (4)
Ralph Houk (2)
Billy Martin (1) or Girardi (1)
Also, Billy Martin should NEVER be higher than Babe Ruth. Ever.
Tier 1: The RAB Dylan League
Tier 2: The RAB Dylan League
Tier 3: The RAB Dylan League
Tier 4: The RAB Dylan League
Tier 5: The RAB Dylan League
Tier 6: The RAB Dylan League
Because we spit hot fire.
I like this.
I was also thinking about:
Tier 1: The RAB Bernie “Feared” Williams League
Tier 3: The RAB Hensley “Bam Bam” Meulens League
Tier 2: The RAB Gerald “Ice” Williams League
Tier 4: The RAB Andy “Stanky” Stankiewicz League
Tier 5: The RAB Raul “Fatty” Mondesi League
Tier 6: The RAB Hideki “Fat Pussy Toad” Irabu League
and hopefully final
Wouldn’t be surprised if there is a laundry list of posters saying how they missed out because of work, class, firewalls & the like.
See below.
I’ve been posting that after every single one of these…
You know, the fifth one was intentionally done at 10pm EST with you in mind. How you missed that one is beyond me.
10-11pm is reserved for sexy time.

Ha! It’s usually sexy time for me too, I had set an alarm on my phone for 9:50 that day and warned the lady in advance “I need to be in front of the computer by 10 tonight so make it quick!”
If you can’t put these out after regular work schedule time, can you at least save a spot for me in one of them? I haven’t been able to join any of these because my work blocks fantasy sports so it’s basically impossible for me to ever join :/
have a non blocked friend sign you up?
Finally. I will not be denied.
Some poor soul out there just read that and had a terrifying flashback/deja vu episode of repressed memories, a solitary tear rolling down her trembling cheek.
It places the lotion in the basket.
Dude, I’ve gotta say… The picture JMK has so dutifully painted for us over these last few months is creepier than that guy. I watched that movie recently and Buffalo Bill didn’t creep me out nearly as much as JMK’s comment ouevre does. Good grief.
I’m sitting at home right now wearing a pair of panties as a necklace.
What were you saying?
Ha… It’s like an art-form. Every time it seems you couldn’t really keep saying disturbing things, you come through. Your disturbing comment clutchitude meter reading is positively Jeterian.
I wil win this 6th league; remember this post.
This is how desperately I wanted in to the madness that will be RAB Fantasy; I left work, using a bs excuse, for 30 minutes to find a local library(libraries apparently still exist! who knew?) to use their internet.
Rose: you gotta want it.
