Public for 25 seasons, we have recently converted to private. Gehrig has been an outstanding public world.
There is just one rule: Win at least 120 games over 2 consecutive seasons.
This is an effort to curtail 'tanking'. There is only this one rule in
order to keep things simple and attractive to new owners. While
public, Gehrig World was a welcome and friendly place for those new to
HBD and I intend to make sure it remains that way.
New owners are welcome, as well as veterans, please contact me (hypnotoad).

Season 26 Wrapup
In dramatic fashion for the second season in a row, the Kansas City Betelnuts (96-66) are the Gehrig World Series champions. In a season where just about everyone expected the top seeds in both leagues (AL - Santa Fe Tigers 113-49 and the NL Fresno Mendozas 114-48) neither team made it even to the League Championship Series. Instead, the number three seeded Betelnuts, managed by cpkung, went 10-2 in the AL side of the playoffs to reach the World Series. The NL representative, the number two seeded St. Louis Jalowitzians (98-64), managed by franco8305, reached their first World Series in franchise history by only dropping one game in their two series on the NL side of the playoffs.
After splitting the first two games of the Series in St. Louis, the Betelnuts took a commanding 3-1 Series lead with back-to-back wins at home. Alas, St. Louis kept fighting and took the Series to a deciding Game 7 at home. In the deciding Game 7, The Jalowitzians went up 4-0 in the bottom of the third inning behind a Fritz Hyzdu Grand Slam. The Betelnuts started chipping away at the Jalowitzians lead in the top of the sixth inning and by the time the top of ninth inning was over the Betelnuts had a 9-6 lead that they would hold on to claim their second championship in a row.
Congratulations to cpkung on his fourth Gehrig World Series championship!
Notes:
As noted earlier cpkung now has two back-to-back title runs in Gehrig.
This was cpkung's fourth World Series championship in Gehrig and in Hardball Dynasty.
The Kansas City Betelnuts franchise is 4-0 in the World Series.
