Regular season ends with a bang!

It was a crazy season with extraordinary individual performances, exceptional "super teams", and the most dominant division ever (the Sandlot Division is the SEC of the Friendship League!)   Still one "winner take all" game for The Natural Division title, but I have updated the stats for the regular season.  More to come on those shortly.  Will tease you with the historic seasons of two players in particular...

-Pittsburgh's Shane Bieber smashed two all-time records, recording 17 wins and 233 strikeouts (insane for an 81 game schedule!)

-Luke Voit finished just one homer shy of 1997 Wichita Bandit Mark McGwire's all-time record.  Luke finished with 38 home runs, 82 RBIs and a .285 batting average!

Luke "I am your father" Voit, Maine's "consolation prize" of the
Great Bingo Ball Trade of a few years ago, had a monstrous season

  Shane Bieber's 2019 Topps card referred to him
as 'Justin', leading to this great jersey response 

The bang referenced in the title of this post is the drama between PJ and I in the last series. My Butchers needed to sweep all four games just to tie Doug's Commodores. Our first game went into extra innings, and Mount Pleasant pulled out the victory in the 11th inning. Dream over for KC, and the Carr Collusion continued to be very ineffective as far as collusions go :-). The Train Wreck won the next two, leaving Kansas City on the verge of getting swept.  KC down 2, bottom of the 9th, two on, George Springer up.  I saw the meager 4% change of a homer, and pulled a Babe Ruth, sending PJ a message calling my shot.  BAM, it actually worked!!!!!  Walk-off homer to end the entire regular season!

George "The Bambino" Springer ends
KC's series with one swing!

Great ending to a historic Butcher season.  Second most wins ever in my thirty-one seasons (31 seasons, good God I am old!).  Happy with my Butchers and in awe of what my division-mates have done this year. 

Good luck to all playoff teams, I am sure much more drama is in store for all!
