100 Win Seasons: Season 18 Update

Season 18 went to the Atlanta Swabbies, giving graybeard his 1st WS title in Gehrig but his 7th overall Hardball Dynasty title. Season 18 was the season of parity as only two teams, Vancouver in the AL and Fresno in the NL, won 100+ games. This also marks the first time since Season 13 when a team won the World Series with less than 100 wins.

Season 18 Wrap-up

In a World Series matching up two franchises vying for their first championship, the Atlanta Swabbies took care of the Fresno Mendozas 4 games to 1 to cap and unlikely run to the title. The Swabbies, the AL six seed, started their playoff run by defeating Season 17 champions Rochester in five games, then defeated #2 seed Richmond also in 5 games, before winning four in a row after dropping the first game of the ALCS to Jacksonville. The Mendozas, coming to the World Series as the #1 seed in the NL and having amassed the second best record in the ML, lost the first two games of the series in extra innings and never quite got their bats going.

This marks the third season in a row that the World Series went to the AL, who now lead the all time series 11 championships to 7 over the NL.

Congratulations to graybeard and the Swabbies management on a wonderful season.

Season 17 Wrap-up

It took the North Stars 11 seasons to come back to the World Series, but after having failed to win it all back in Season 6, the North Stars captured the hardware after defeating the Charleston Chitlins in an exciting 7 game series. The North Stars, the AL #2 seed also required 7 games to capture the AL pennant, and they did so after being down two games to one in both series. The North Stars unofficial playoffs MVP had to be Cap DiSarcina, who went 6-0 pitching 46 and a third innings with a 2.33 ERA and 0.97 WHIP over 7 games. More importantly DiSarcina won both his starts against the Chitlins while throwing 15 scoreless innings.

This marks back-to-back World Series championships for an original franchise of Gehrig World as well as back-to-back titles for the AL.

Congratulations to hypnotoad and the North Stars management on a wonderful season.

Season 16 Wrap-up

The Durham Donkeyfish cruised to their 2nd World Series title after defeating the NL Champs San Juan Myrmidons four games to one. The Donkeyfish outscored San Juan 32-20 during the series, and just offered a balanced game of solid pitching and hitting that the Myrmidons could not overcome.

The Donkeyfish, one of Gehrig's original franchises, have turned into a perennial powerhouse. After only going to the playoffs once in their first 11 seasons, they have made the World Series 3 of the last 5 seasons and claimed two championships.

Congratulations to armst24 and the Donkeyfish management on another wonderful season.
