1945

Archeologists have discovered ruins of an ancient baseball field east of Los Angeles. It is believed to be the site of a famous meeting between the Americans and Mongolians, where it was decided that ownership of the island would be determined by a game of Baseball instead of killing each other. The Americans won, then joined their opponents in a Mongolian barbecue with potato salad.

The city of Adrianople has been converted to Baseball.
The American fleet has departed the southern continent and is headed to Greece. The heart of their empire is on the opposite side of the globe, so it will take some time to set up for attack.
Many cities are producing groups of settlers who are eager to found cities in new lands.

The last two Best Pitcher Award winners, SP Frank Beaudry and SP Chris Morgan, are both free agents. Notable free agent signings:

SP Frank Beaudry - Houston Citadel
SP Chris Morgan - Washington Elephants
3B John Hamilton - Buffalo Argent
SP Isaiah Scott - Buffalo Argent
CF Eric Heath - Houston Citadel
LF Rahman Hamal - Buffalo Argent

SP Javier Lopez was inducted into the Hall of Fame in his second year. Fans were unsure if Lopez would receive the recognition he deserved for his productive career since he never played on a winning team or received an award, but in the end his longevity and steady production earned him admission. He played 18 seasons for the Los Angeles Steel, with his best season coming in 1929 when he went 29-6 with a 3.34 ERA.

Masters Division - The New York Admirals charged out to an early lead, with the Washington Elephants close behind. Despite the Elephants playing very well, the Admirals widened their lead and captured the division easily with the best record in the league.

Legends Division - The Houston Citadel were the only team in the division with a winning record on draft day as teams were hoping to rebuild for future seasons. Houston coasted to victory, never really being challenged. Experts doubt their preparation for the postseason.

Twilight Division - The Miami Haberdashers settled in for a season long battle with the Chicago Miners, and grabbed a narrow lead in July. The Haberdashers never surrendered their lead. Chicago came within 1 game in August, but Miami pulled away and finished strong.

Vanguard Division - The Buffalo Argent suffered some early season injuries, but still managed to hold a 3-game lead over the San Francisco Zoo at the break. When their players returned from the disabled list they dominated the division and coasted to a 24 game advantage.

CBL Playoffs - Miami Haberdashers vs. Buffalo Argent - Buffalo dominated Miami, sweeping the series 4-0. RF Nick Sarris batted .563 with three HRs in the four games and was named series MVP.

CBL Playoffs - Houston Citadel vs. New York Admirals - Houston SP Hajime Nakata pitched a 5-hit shutout in game 2, but the rest of the glory in the series went to New York. Admirals 3B Matvey Tarovik was given the MVP and batted .421 in five games.

CBL Championship - It was the matchup that everyone expected from early on, facing the well-practiced teamwork of the Admirals against the powerful free agent acquisitions of Buffalo. Despite Buffalo's Akiho "Squirt" Hori finding his power stroke early, the Admirals delivered key hits and solid pitching in the first two games at home. As the series shifted to Buffalo the story changed, with the home crowd firing up the Argent, who swept the three games at home. But the Admirals had the home field advantage and the series shifted back to New York. Admirals SP Endale Dhoruba pulled a leg muscle in the first inning of game 6, but the Admirals bullpen rallied to pitch a combined shutout, sending the series to a deciding 7th game. In the final match Admirals manager Ben Nash decided not to go to his tired bullpen and left SP Tristan Rood in to pitch in the 9th inning. With two outs 3B John Hamilton singled home a pair of runs to give the Argent a 5-3 lead, and star CL Edwin Rojas nailed down the save to give Buffalo the Championship. Buffalo 1B Ken Tower batted .400 with a pair of home runs and was named series MVP.

Buffalo SP Matt "Flip" Ledet won his first Best Pitcher Award.
Buffalo 1B Ken Tower capped his excellent postseason run with his second MVP Award.
Buffalo manager Waleed Harith won his second Best Manager Award.
Constantinople CF Jeremy King was named Rookie of the Year.
