Season 35 in Gehrig will go down as a season of first. In the AL, the No. 2 seeded New Britain Hard Hitters (98-64) won the franchise's first playoff series and knocked out the powerhouse Santa Fe Tigers (100-62) to win the AL pennant. In the Old Circuit, the No. 2 seeded Florida Spring Breakers (103-59) won the pennant for the third time in the last five seasons, but for the first time in franchise history, they came out as the ultimate victors.
New Britain reached the World Series by sweeping the Pittsburgh Pushovers (88-74) in the ALDS and then defeating the Tigers in 7 games after having been down 0-2 and 2-3 in the ALCS. Florida reached the Series by defeating Mexico City La Raza (88-74) in four games in the NLDS before taking down Washington D.C. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (95-67) in six games in the NLCS.
In the World Series, the Spring Breakers got off to a fast start and never looked back. After easily winning the first two games by outscoring New Britain by a combined 16-4, they dropped a one-run Game 3. Florida removed any doubt that they meant business by scoring 4 runs in the top of the 1st inning of Game 4, which they ultimately won, before running away with Game 5 by 10-3. Overall, Florida outscored New Britain 34-13. The Spring Breakers also got an amazing showing from top starting pitcher Eric Hairston, who ended the playoffs with 4 Wins in 6 starts and an impressive 1.75 ERA and 1.25 WHIP.
Congratulations to the Florida Spring Breakers and antidrew on a great Championship run.
Notes:
This marks antidrew's first Hardball Dynasty World Series title.
This is the first time since season's 22-23 (both wins by the Fresno Mendozas) that the NL has won consecutive World Series titles.
Florida has made the playoffs in 5 of the last 6 seasons, and made the World Series in 3 of the last 5 seasons. The World Series runs were made by Florida teams that won 100+ games.

Season 29 Wrap-Up
After only four seasons at the helm of a franchise that had been long stuck in mediocrity, thedream42 took the San Diego Magic to the second World Series in franchise history, this time defeating the upstart San Jose Chinchillas in five games.
Few would have predicted the number five seeded Magic to meet the number four seeded Chinchillas in the World Series. Although the Chinchillas (79-83) came in as the higher seed, they came into the playoffs with a losing record in the regular season. The Magic (104-58) grabbed a Wild Card slot despite having the second best regular season record in the competitive NL. Nonetheless, the Chinchillas got hot just in time, first sweeping the number 5 seeded Ottawa Dragons, before shocking the 120-win Trenton Troubadours in 4 games and the 109-win Santa Fe Tigers in the ALCS. The Magic were really only pushed once during their playoff run. They took out the New York Skyscrapers in four games before needing all five games of the NLCS to defeat the top-seeded Fresno Mendozas and then defeating the Cincinnati Redlegs in six games to claim the NL pennant.
The Magic started the World Series with a Game 1 win after scoring the game winning runs on the top of the ninth inning. After dropping Game 2 in the late innings to the Chinchillas, the Magic ran the tables to claim their first Gehrig World Series title. In the end, the Chinchillas were done in by late inning scoring by the Magic. Indeed, three of the four Magic wins came off San Diego scoring the winning runs in the seventh inning or later.
Congratulations to thedream42 on the World Series championship and a great franchise turnaround!
Notes:
This is thedream42 first World Series championship in Gehrig and second overall in Hardball Dynasty.
This marks the first time the World Series went to the NL since season 23.
The AL now leads the NL nineteen World Series titles to ten.
