Times Poll Picks Far Mountain In 2013 Pro Cup Series
The Islandian Times polled all of the major sportswriters and broadcasters and announced the Far Mountain Redhawks as the favorites to win the 2013 IPA Pro Cup. Manager Alex Groveland talented club has brought home the coveted trophy the last two years. Far Mountain's biggest competition is expected to come from the Turon Typhoons, who have captured 3 Pro Cups in their history. However the Redhawks and Typhoons can look for the Tuckanarra Blue Jays and the St. John Crusaders to have a big say in the eventual champion. They were the third and fourth choices respectively. The voters gave Far Mountain and Turon the edge because of stronger pitching, plus successful postseason experience.

Turon has won the Pro Cup the most, three times, while making the postseason 7 times. Far Mountain has appeared in the playoffs 7 times and won the Pro Cup twice. Only one other of this year's representatives has ever won the Pro Cup previously. The Wynnamac Sundowners copped it in their only playoff appearance. That was in 2008. Denton City has been in postseason on 7 occasions, but has never won the overall crown. Tuckanarra and Fairfax have played in the playoffs 5 and 4 times respectively and Forest City has made the Pro Cup playoffs 3 times.
