I really watch very little baseball on TV. It's been months since I've seen an entire game. But this stuff here really is outstanding. All these names. You are bringing them back to life, like Tom does with LOW.
My predictions:
Post Americans may sweep Pittsburgh.
Pre-Nationals will squeak out a 7 game series against Old Timers.
Upset - I am choosing Centurians to defeat Post Nationals in one of the best series to date.
Kansas City will falter and look bad at times, but they will have enough to stave off Washington.
The pitching will finally step up and lead the Left Outers in six over Pre-Americans.
A total squash as Dead Ballers will defeat Detroit rather easily.

I know what you mean about the remembering the old names. Another side effect of playing strato is all the good games and players to think about instead of my Pirates when everything goes downhill for them.
Some good predictions. Last round I thought a series could go seven and it was a sweep. Pittsburgh really hasn't done anything and you at least have to hit to have a chance in any of these games.
Looks like I forgot the standings in my stat drop.
1. Pre-Nationals 12-5 (9-0 home, 3-5 away, 3-0 series)
1. Post Nationals 12-5 (6-3 home, 6-2 away, 3-0 series)
3. Old Timers 12-8 (7-3 home, 5-5 away, 3-0 series)
4. Pre-Americans 9-6 (5-2 home, 4-4 away, 2-1 series)

What a series that was with Centurians and Post Nationals! That would go down as one of the greatest 7 game series ever I think! What a finish!
I knew KC would look bad against Washington BUT with Satchell Paige working it, I believe they will win this one. Unless my buddy Josh Gibson hits a few into the river!
