Every year since 1998 I've kept track of a team's core "age" (the keeper list + 1st or 1st/2nd round picks). Here's them all, updated to the 2002 season. The revamped Somerville Sluggers are the league's youngest team at 26.5 years of age, followed by the ever youthful Sacramento Fish. The San Diego Termites will have none of this youth stuff, setting a new record for "core" team age at 32.3 years. The Moshers jumped up 15 places (from 21st to 6) in age rankings, while the newly named Arthropods (formerly Squids) lost the most ground, losing 13 spots.
