The second-place Waleska Westerners (79-75) have been top contenders in the RU South for the last decade, winning one Pro Cup in 2028 and taking two division titles in all... manager McGraw Johnson did very well, especially with Hall-of-Famer Roy Hobbs in the lineup... but this year there was no Hobbs, who decided to go out on top... when Hobbs retired, Johnson stepped down as skipper and named Hobbs as his replacement, but he retained the GM position.

A sluggish first half probably cost the Westerners the title... they played well in the second half of the season... rookie OF Niles Gregory helped ease the loss of the fabled Hobbs with a great season... Gregory and superstar Loco Dillinger led a potent offense with the help of veteran 1B Glenn Childress... Dillinger, Gregory and pitcher Jarred Laclair made the RU All-Stars... Hobbs needs better pitching to put him over the top in the RU South... the Westerners are only average with the gloves with a .971 FA.
