JR Richard no hit the Eunices in the first game of the set. A couple of tweeners in the hitter's columns but mostly no stress for the flame throwing righthander.

The all-time single-season starting pitcher ERA record was broken this season. Frank Tanana's 2.21 is the new all-time best.
A few TEAM records were broken this season:
- The Black Sox' 165 STOLEN BASES shattered the old team record of 137, set by Louis way back in Season 1.
- The Black Sox also broke the record for team SHUTOUTS. Their 21 shutouts edged the old record of 20, also set by Mike in Season 15.
- The Sharks' team ERA of 2.87 sets the new standard. The old record of 2.93 was set by Mike's team in Season 12.

Was there a storm or contagious virus that is halting play in the league?

Good question Joe. As Woody Allen said, “what we have here is a dead shark.” And he wasn’t talking about John’s team.

It's been quite a slog trying to make it through this season. Strato gods willing, things will move along in the near future.

No games since mid September? Did you guys lose you teams?

Good question, Eugene. There's an easy way to know. If my players are selected to the all-star team, it's a fair election. If my players lose, the election is rigged.

First there was the Sports Illustrated curse. Then there was the Madden curse. Add Tony Nun to that list. Last season he sings John’s praises. John barely hangs on to a playoff spot and then losses his playoff series. This season he lauds Frank who promptly goes into a tailspin. How many lives must this Nun character destroy before he is stopped?

Tony Nun speaks and Frank gets swept in a four-game series, losing each game by a 1-0 score. Tony, I'd like to paraphrase the Fresh Prince and say, 'keep my team's name out of your mouth.' Thanks in advance.

Jesus, I go away for a long vacation and when I come back Frank is kicking everyone's ass? Led by Bob Apodoca? And here I thought we had at least until Nov. 5 before the Apocalypse.

I just looked over the posted draft results for the new season and I have to wonder.
Where have you gone, Roger Freed? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
Doesn't quite roll off the tongue as Simon and Garfunkel sang, but it kind of makes you wonder. Roger not defending his triple crown, so sad.

Oh and by the way, Freed became only the second player ever to win the Triple Crown. He joins Ted Williams as the only players man enough to accomplish this feat.
Speaking of Triple Crown winners, I wonder what Secretariat's Strato card would look like. Would I be able to hide him at first base in order to get his bat into the lineup?

Roger Freed, Broderick Perkins and Sidd Finch walk into a bar. Finch orders a Bourbon for himself and two Mocktails for his companions. He lifts his glass and toasts, “I may be fictional but at least I didn’t cheapen a once noble game. And Roger Freed probably takes it in the can.” While Freed shifts his feet smirking, Perkins looks hurt, “What the hell did I do to get in this joke? I was beloved”
And now you are a bad punchline in a nonsensical joke. Thanks Roger Freed.

Joe Agostino did not enter the record book. His grinch-like attitude and misguided rules proposal would have prevented the Strato community from witnessing one of the most beautiful sights the world has ever seen: Roger Freed's glorious season.

No all-time single-season records were broken this season, but several players added their names to the record books. Most of these players are named Roger Freed, but a few others distinguished themselves as well.
- Joe Morgan and Roger Freed each scored 115 RUNS, the third most all-time. They knocked Mickey Mantle (season 4) and Babe Ruth (season 6) off the ledger.
- Roger Freed's 203 HITS are the fourth best ever. He replaces Al Simmons (season 7).
- Roger Freed and Garry Templeton each hit 21 TRIPLES, tying the third most ever.
- Reggie Smith's .434 OB% is the third highest ever. He knocks Mickey Mantle (season 7) off the list.
- Roger Freed's 407 TOTAL BASES is the second highest total ever. He just missed Hank Aaron's all-time record (413), set last season. Roger knocks Rod Carew (season 4) off the list.
- Roger Freed's .698 SLUGGING PERCENTAGE was oh so close to Aaron's record (.699 set way back in season 2).
