Congrats to Duluth
As this series can exemplify, it is never 'easy' to win a championship in baseball. Nothing is ever given. It will always be a struggle. And the one who weathers the storm best, will come out on top. Mark you guided your ship to the finish line, congrats again.
May the rest of us (including we Cleveland Indian-esque) know the agony of defeat to make us stronger.

Its been a good series. Well done Mark! That was an impressive run indeed, especially in your first year back in the league. Kentucky may have come up a wee bit short but that club is going to be around a while too. Congrats to both of you!

Way to go, Mark! You really made your return to the league a special one. And congratulations on Kentucky's amazing run, Duane! The Thoroughbreds look like long-term contenders to me. Let's bring the championship back to the IL next year, eh?

I am in the process on calculating a summary of the league financials. Congrats on the highest gross overall revenue since the WIL teams left! This year (2026) the league gross revenue totaled $4,620,593,072. This is up from $4,530,230,968 last season (2025). I will post the rest of my summary later once the revenue sharing calculation is completed with our move to the off-season.

In no small part to the number of teams that have crossed 4,000,000 in attendance - and I thin Kentucky - I believe, almost passing 5,000,000...

Since most of the problems have been flushed out, when can we expect decisions to be made and the sims to get back on track?

I have not heard from another person interested in joining in 5 days, I think we need to update the PEBA post and redo it to where we get more interest. I do hope we start exports this week. I am also finishing my Article on the championship win, however, statslab is borked again. When you click on game scores it takes you to other teams instead of the correct ones. We might need to contact Dan and get things in order to.
