Added thoughts before beginning play

I have now gone through all the teams and made rough roster determinations.

Many -- most? -- of the 1924 teams don't have 25 cards. Some get to 23 or 24 only by including players who saw so little playing time that they wouldn't get cards on teams of more recent vintage.
I am going to change something regarding injuries as a result, perhaps by going to all injuries are for remainder of game only, perhaps by making that the rule for 1924 teams. (Update: all injuries are for remainder of game only.)

All of the 2017 teams have far more players than they can use, and they all used five-man rotations, which in this format strips down to four. I will, for most 2017 teams that advance, be swapping out one or more starters.

I have updated the list of "workhorse" starters -- exempt from the three-days-of-rest penalty -- on an earlier post to include Herb Pennock (1924 Yankees) and Sloppy Thurston (1924 White Sox).
