The city of Kansas City has been founded on an island northwest of New Orleans, across the strait from the capital of Venice.

42-year old Chris Morgan is a free agent again, and the 4-time Best Pitcher Award winner and all-time leader in games started is looking for another team to play for. Major free agent acquisitions:

SP Chris Morgan - Houston Citadel
SS Akihisha Kimura - Houston Citadel
CL Edwin Rojas - Washington Elephants
SP Dave McCabe - Houston Citadel
LF Kevin Hillenbrand - Houston Citadel
RP Nate "Ping" Davis - Unsigned. He's no longer a starter and he's kind of a selfish jerk, so teams passed on him.
C Masashige Suga - retired

Top prospects:

SP Justin "Whiskey" Whitlock was inducted into the Hall of Fame on his first ballot. At his induction ceremony, the talented and gifted pitching star addressed the baseball immortals and adoring fans who gathered to honor him. "I dreamed of this as a child but I never really thought it would happen... and now it has."

Masters Division - The Washington Elephants took a 5 game lead into the break over the New York Admirals. By season's end they had doubled their lead, earning a convincing division victory.

Legends Division - Getting a new group of free agents to work together is often a difficult task, but Citadel manager Toshiaki "Toad" Kato was up to the task and pushed his team out in front of the Almaty Diamond Kings. Once they got rolling they didn't stop, finishing with a 16 game advantage over Almaty.

Twilight Division - At the halfway point the Chicago Miners and Miami Haberdashers were tied at a record of 49-34. They fought neck and neck until the final weeks of the season, and Chicago went on a 17-4 run to seal their victory.

Vanguard Division - The Buffalo Argent looked to repeat their success and grabbed a 13 game lead over the Los Angeles Steel at midseason. They were unstoppable in the second half and finished 25 games ahead of the San Francisco Zoo, who played well and looked like a team of the future.

CBL Playoffs - Chicago Miners vs. Buffalo Argent - Buffalo was expected to demolish the Miners, but Chicago made their fans proud by holding the Buffalo offense to no more than three runs in each game. It wasn't enough to win however, as they were unable to generate any consistent offense of their own. Buffalo SP Steve Novacek continued his hot streak with a pair of victories and gained MVP honors.

CBL Playoffs - Washington Elephants vs. Houston Citadel - The well-managed Citadel took apart the Elephants in six games, and the outcome wasn't that close. Aside from a couple of Washington victories at home the Citadel proved they were the more talented team both on offense and defense. Despite losing the series, Washington LF Jaden Burton was given the MVP for batting .458 with a pair of home runs.

CBL Championship - Buffalo arrived in the championship circle again, looking to repeat. It looked like the Citadel was poised for the upset, but in game 1 at home the Argent came back from a 4-1 deficit to win 5-4 on a walkoff HR by C Abidin "Schoolboy" Sancakli. In game 2 SP Steve "Hillbilly" Novacek pitched a complete game for a 5-1 win and gave Buffalo a 2-0 advantage as the series moved to Houston. The Citadel rebounded at home and dominated the Argent 9-1. They hoped to gain the series advantage in their own stadium, but split the final two games going back to Buffalo. Facing elimination the Houston bullpen came up big and bought time for the Citadel offense to secure the victory late in game 6, pushing the series to a deciding game in Buffalo. With everything on the line in game 7 the lead finally changed for good when Buffalo's Sancakli hit an RBI single off SP Hajime Nakata in the 7th inning to give Buffalo SP Matt Ledet a 4-3 complete game victory and their 8th CBL Championship.

Buffalo Argent SP Matt "Flip" Ledet won his second consecutive Best Pitcher Award.
Three years after being named Rookie of the Year, Buffalo C Abidin "Schoolboy" Sancakli was named MVP.
Buffalo manager Waleed Harith won his third Best Manager Award.
Buffalo RP Jim White received the Reliever of the Year award.
St. Louis Pioneers C Mark Kelley was named Rookie of the Year.
