Venice has been elected to lead the world congress for now.

The city of Constantinople has completed their stadium. The former capital of the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople borders both the northern and southern coastlines of the southern continent, and is famous for the vast wineries along the southern sea.

14 years ago the city of Philadelphia completed their stadium, and as a holy site has been improved on over time. It stands ready to host throngs of enthusiastic fans. Philadelphia hosts multiple military training facilities, and encompasses the ancient wonder El Dorado, with its many valuable statues and artifacts. It has a wide bay and easy access to shipping lanes from Korea in the East to Japan in the West, making it a center of international trade.

The CBL has restructured and expanded by two teams, the Philadelphia Idols and the Constantinople Vintners.

C Mike "Superfly" Robert, who spent his entire 17-year career as a member of the Los Angeles Steel, was admitted to the Hall of Fame. Robert was one of the game's best hitters in his prime, winning two batting titles and he 1927 MVP award, but was hobbled by knee injuries for the rest of his career. At his reception Robert told the audience, "I just went out and did my job every day... and I guess I must have done it pretty well. Thank you for the honor you have given me today."

During the June draft excitement was in the air, as the two expansion franchises chose their first draftees. With the first overall pick the Philadelphia Idols chose CF Joey "High Roller" Riggs, and the Constantinople Vintners selected SP Jose "Blitz" Carrisales.

Masters Division - At the halfway point the New York Admirals held a 2 game lead over the Washington Elephants. They never faced serious opposition and won the division by 7 games.

Legends Division - The Almaty Diamond Kings established a 6½ game lead over the Houston Citadel early on. The Citadel poured on the steam in the second half, winning the division by 12 games over Almaty.

Twilight Division - On draft day the Chicago Miners led the Miami Haberdashers by 2 games and the Seattle Anglers by 3. Injuries decimated the Chicago outfield and they struggled in the second half, letting the Haberdashers take the division.

Vanguard Division - The Portland Stags looked to repeat their success and led the Buffalo Argent by 1½ games at the break. They fought neck and neck until the final day of the season. Buffalo won their game and the Stags were defeated by SP Chris Morgan who pitched a gem for the Admirals in Portland. Despite winning 103 games the Stags were eliminated from playoff contention.

CBL Playoffs - Miami Vs. Buffalo: The Miami Haberdashers had an easy time with the Buffalo Argent, winning the series 3 games to 1. 2B Nobushige "Bumblebee" Takeda added to his excellent season by collecting the series MVP award.

CBL Playoffs - Houston vs. New York: The series was tied at 2-2, but the final two games became a showcase for New York Admirals RP Edwin Rojas, who picked up 2 victories in 6 innings of relief. There was some speculation that Citadel manager Toshiaki "Toad" Kato had his team playing beyond their ability, and Houston's luck just finally ran out.

CBL Championship - Miami vs. New York: The series opened with a shock, as the Haberdashers won the first two games in New York. Returning home they pushed the series lead to 3-0, and the Admirals finally broke the ice in game 4 as SP Tony Diaz pitched a complete game, surrendering only one unearned run. In game five things looked bad for SP Kyle de Bora, who was forced to leave in the first inning due to injury, but the Admirals bullpen stepped up to pitch a combined shutout. Their heroics were for naught however, returning home the Admirals lost their third and final game on their home turf, and Miami celebrated their championship victory in 6 games. Brilliant Miami SP Randy "Midnight Toaster" Foster earned the series MVP award.

Portland Stags RF Khaldun Yazid was named league MVP (teammate Josh Irby finished 3rd in the voting), and New York Admirals SP Chris Morgan won his 3rd Best Pitcher award.
