WAR!

We can afford to shrug off insults, but the Koreans can't. They have been dealing with Greek aggression for some time now, in ways as a neighboring territory, that we have not. They have found no alternative to dealing with the Greeks and implored us to join their effort. It feels like time to teach them some humility, so we agree to reduce Greece's standing military.

Naval forces have left ports in Chicago, Buffalo, Miami, and Philadelphia. New destroyers and battleships are being deployed from Houston, Constantinople, Antioch, and Cleveland. Artillery and Cavalry have left Constantinople and Antioch in preparation for an amphibious assault on the new Greek city of Halicarnassus.

RF Adam Hartfield has won two consecutive batting titles and becomes a free agent. Joining him are 1938 Best Picher SP Nate Davis, SP Tony Diaz, 4-time Best Reliever CL Edwin Rojas, and defensive whiz SS Ho-win Yang. Notable signings:

RF Adam Hartfield - Houston Citadel
SP Nate Davis - Washington Elephants
SP Tony Diaz - Houston Citadel
SS Ho-win Yang - Atlanta Bison
SP Tristan Rood - New York Admirals
SP Gianluigi Castagna - Washington Elephants
CL Edwin Rojas - Buffalo Argent
LF Akiho Hori - Buffalo Argent
RF Matt Gonzales - St. Louis Pioneers

C Jeff Cates has been inducted into the Hall of Fame. He was the 1922 Rookie of the Year, played 19 seasons for the Almaty Diamond Kings, and fulfilled expectations by winning the CBL Championship series in 1930 during which he was MVP.

Masters Division - In the only division race that provided any real drama, the Elephants, Admirals and Bison shared the lead entering July. Slugging 1B Sergei Kaisin went on a tear to lead Washington to a strong finish over the New York Admirals.

Legends Division - Picking up free agent acquisition Tony Diaz proved to be a good choice for Houston as he rose to the top of the heap of starting pitchers in the first half, and the Citadel led 7 games over Almaty. The second half saw the Citadel go on a rampage, with the rest of the teams headed in the other direction.

Twilight Division - The Miami Haberdashers entered the season on a mission to return to the Championship, and established a strong lead over the rest of the division. The Chicago Miners threatened late, but never got close enough to overtake Miami.

Vanguard Division - The Buffalo Argent and Portland Stags fought for the top spot, with Buffalo up by three games at the break. San Francisco went on a winning streak in August to temporarily take over 2nd place, but fell behind the Stags again in September, while the Argent cruised to victory.

CBL Playoffs - Buffalo Argent vs. Houston Citadel: Houston's other major acquisition in the offseason, RF Adam Hartfield, batted .450 in the series and led the Citadel to a surprisingly easy 4-1 series victory over the Argent.

CBL Playoffs - The Miami Haberdashers managed to open and close the series with victories on enemy turf, and claimed a 4-2 series win. Miami 1B Jason DeLoach hit a pair of key home runs and was named MVP.

CBL Championship - Miami SP Ben Sietsma started out Miami with a strong victory in Houston. That was all that Houston would allow in the series, shutting down Miami for the next four games. Citadel RF Adam Hartfield stayed hot, batting .478 for the series and grabbing MVP honors again. Houston grabbed their 2nd Championship, their first since 1931.

Washington Elephants CF Jaden Burton was named MVP, and Miami SP Frank "Long Haul" Beaudry was selected Best Pitcher. In his fifth playoff appearance Houston manager Toshiaki "Toad" Kato brought his team a Championship and was named Manager of the Year. The Hall of Fame former pitcher said, "Everyone on the team put in a lot of hard work this season, and it's always nice when it's acknowledged in some way."
