1938

The Japanese invited us to join them in combat against Venice, but there's really no reason, so we declined.

Workers have been dispatched to build a grand railroad across the main continent, connecting from Boston to Almaty.

The 1938 census has determined that the population of America now exceeds 50 million people.

Washington SP Chris "Creole" Sullivan led the league with 28 wins last season and has filed for free agency. Additional big name free agents include RF John Gomez, SS Oleg Anferov (7th all-time HR hitter), and SP Bill Harer, who is still chugging along strong at age 40. When the dust settled Sullivan signed with Portland, Gomez with Los Angeles, Anferov with Washington, and Harer signed a one-year deal with Boston.

C Orrel "Freeze" Faustov was inducted into the CBL Hall of Fame. Despite gaining most of his renown in Washington, he entered the Hall as a member of the Atlanta Bison. He won two batting titles, two home run titles, and was voted MVP in 1922.



Masters Division: In the first half of the season the Portland Stags forged to the lead as teammates SS Josh "Martini" Irby and RF Khaldun Yazid fought neck and neck for the batting title. Unfortunately the Stags collapsed badly, and the Boston Gold grabbed the title. The Atlanta Bison and Buffalo Argent ended up in a tie, and in the sudden-death game the Argent came out the winner. The Argent turned their one-game success into a ticket to the big dance by beating the Gold 4 games to 2.

Legends Division: Confounding the experts, the Miami Haberdashers - who have never made the playoffs in their 22 year history - started winning games and took over first place from the St. Louis Pioneers. It didn't last, but not because the competition was foo fierce. The Pioneers won the division with a losing record and the Washington Elephants stuck to their bumper. In the division playoff Oleg Anferov only had three hits, but two of them were home runs and the Elephants moved on to the championship.



CBL Championship: Pitchers Nate Davis and Mike Trego never faced each other directly, but Trego came out the winner as Argent beat the Elephants 4 games to 2. Between them only Trego won one game as the series was decided by other players. Buffalo 3B Dwight Reimer hit .409 and was named Championship Series MVP.



As a consolation prize, P Nate Davis broke Trego's streak and was named Best Pitcher.
