Shin Seiki, Japan – October 11, 2036 Vanessa stood, abruptly jolted from her seat as Noah Hill’s line drive landed safely in “Splits” MacVurich’s glove. A malformed roar burst from her lungs as a cheer and she launched a fist in the air, releasing the tension that had built not only over the course of […]
A year after five players dominated Matthieu Sicco’s year-old record 38 home runs in a season, Dermott Douglas of the Cairo Pharaohs and Pedro Hernandez of the Goheung Gom are on pace to smash the record that former top amateur draft pick Hung Cai set in 2035. Cai’s 52 homers marked the IBC’s first 50+ […]
Niihama-shi, Japan – July 21, 2036 The Niihama-shi Ghosts, one of only two PEBA franchises that’s never made it to the PEBA playoffs, reached the All-Star break in the Sovereign League’s second wild card spot. They held a four-game lead over the resurgent Fargo Dinosaurs and stood 3.5 games behind the Shin Seiki Evas. After […]
Osakasayama, Japan – October 25, 2035 Thirteen different teams had won the Surf and Snow Amalgamation Championship, and now the Dawson City Gunslingers, in only their fourth season, can add that feat to their history books. They can also hang their dusty, icy hats on their team’s first MVP victory. 3B Moos Ippel beat out […]
Niihama, Japan – September 30, 2035 Vanni Bruno sat, sort of, teetering on the edge of his seat in the owner’s box of Oikake Maze. He was surrounded by staff, for the most part, along with a few guests that could have been his granddaughters if one were paying attention only to age. The game […]
The 2029 draft was a first for me, as I came on with PEBA just ahead of the 2028 trade deadline. At that deadline, and in the remainder of the pre-draft time, I traded away many of the Bears picks, including those in the first three rounds. My first draft pick was SS Brad Simpson […]
Sacramento, CA – October 4, 2034 Connor Dempster, former baseball prospect of such PEBA organizations as the Shin Seiki Evas and, more recently, the West Virginia Alleghenies, was arrested and charged with public intoxication, criminal vandalism, and driving under the influence late Tuesday evening. Details are emerging as the Sacramento Deltas player was released after […]
“Fachinn ell!” John MacVurich pronounced as he kicked open the locker room door and tore his Namuko Puckmen jersey open. “Dobbers n’ nuggets, the lot of ‘em!” Enrique Rodriguez rarely understood his Scottish teammates, but after the Chandler Waxers completed their four-game sweep of the Puckmen to unceremoniously boot them from round one of the […]
Camarillo, California – July 17, 2034 Bleary-eyed and adrift from the overnight flight, Vail pulled into the long, winding drive that led to Camarillo State Hospital. As he approached the main entrance, he remembered the accursedly small parking lot, always completely filled with employee vehicles, almost as if to disinvite visitors, and for a moment, […]
Niihama, Japan – July 3, 2034 “So it’s this young Pen guy, eh? The best of the next?” Vanni continued to press. The typically unflappable Vanessa Chambers, assistant GM of the Ghosts, was starting to crack under the unexpected intensity of this meeting with the Ghosts owner. In all her years as his personal assistant, […]
