Season 31 Wrap-Up

For the second season in a row the Santa Fe Tigers (108-54) won the World Series title in Gehrig requiring the maximum number of games in the Series. But unlike last season, when Santa Fe required extra innings in the deciding game to beat Mexico City, the Tigers scored 6 runs in the bottom of the third inning on the Florida Spring Breakers (106-56) and never looked back.

Both Florida and Santa Fe entered the World series as the top seeds from the NL and AL, respectively. Not only did they have a strong regular season, but both teams entered the World Series having won all their games in the Division and League Championships. Both squads were so evenly matched that neither team was able to win two games in a row during the Series. In the end, the Spring Breakers best chance of taking control of the Series fell through when they blew a 5-3 lead in Game 5 with Herman Magee giving up the deciding 3 runs on the top of the 9th inning.

For antidrew, a fantastic run ended on a sour note, but he will be happy with the prospects of a team that he was able to turn around in only his fourth season in Gehrig. For kevinbigham, another great season ended up with another World Series championship.

Notes:

Santa Fe has now had 9 consecutive 100+ win seasons, dating back to season 23, and has won 4 titles during this time span. 

This is kevinbigham's fourth World Series championship in Gehrig and in Hardball Dynasty.
