American scientists have discovered penicillin. Time players must spend on the disabled list has been reduced from 15 to 12 days.

The most coveted free agent this year is former Chicago SS Egor Mostynets. He's a gold glove shortstop with power and speed and a high OB%. A good clubhouse guy coming into his prime at age 30 his services should be in high demand. Significant signings:

SP Nick Coleman - Atlanta Bison
SS Egor Mostynets - Buffalo Argent
CF - Goro Yamaguchi - New York Admirals
2B - Nobushige Takeda - Chicago Miners
RF Khaldun Yazid - Buffalo Argent
SP Max Bennett - Atlanta Bison

Top prospects:

There were no Hall of Fame selections this year.

Masters Division - The Elephants, Admirals, and Bison all fought for first place through the first half of the season, with the Elephants gradually pulling away at the end of the season.

Legends Division - The Houston jumped out to an 11 game lead at the break. The rest of the division collapsed and they found themselves winning by 28 games.

Twilight Division - The Miami Haberdashers held an early lead, trailed by the Seattle Anglers. Seattle slowly chased down and overtook Miami, then cruised down the stretch. They appear to be peaking as a team at the right time.

Vanguard Division - The Buffalo Argent dominated the division from beginning to end, winning by 21 games.

CBL Playoffs - Seattle Anglers vs. Buffalo Argent - Nobody expected Seattle to give the powerful Agent much of a challenge, but when they won the opening game in Buffalo 6-4 is was a wakeup call. The Argent responded, pushing Seattle back and winning the series 4 games to 2. Buffalo SP Steve "Hillbilly" Novacek was the big story, pitching 17.3 scoreless innings and winning series MVP.

CBL Playoffs - Houston Citadel vs. Washington Elephants - The series was back-and-forth with neither team being able to put away the other until the 7th game. Houston outhit Washington and grabbed the lead, but the Elephants fought back. Washington came within a run, but 5-time Reliever of the Year winner RP Doug Katz slammed the door and gave the Citadel a trip to the Championship. Houston 1B Jim Moss batted .444 in the 7 games and was named series MVP.

CBL Championship - Houston rocked the opener behind a 6-hit shutout from SP Jim Peterkin. Buffalo nearly lost the next game at home also, but a 3-run rally in the bottom of the 15th inning - sparked by an inside the park HR by leadoff man SS Egor Mostynets - tied the series at 1-1. The Buffalo offense came alive in game 3 in Houston, highlighted by a pair of HRs from 3B Jaylen Johnstone. SP Jim Peterkin combined with his bullpen to pitch another shutout in game 4, and the Citadel almost won game 5 also but a 4-run rally in the top of the 9th sent the series back to Buffalo with a 3-2 game lead for the Argent. Facing elimination, Houston SP Nick Thompson was outdueled by Buffalo SP Steve Novacek, and the Argent won the series 4 games to 2. 3B Jaylen Johnstone was named series MVP.

Houston Citadel RP Doug Katz won his 6th Reliever of the Year award at age 40.
St. Louis Pioneers C Jason "The Natural" Hood was named Rookie of the Year.
Buffalo Argent manager Waleed Harith won his 4th Manager of the Year award.
Buffalo SP Matt Ladet won his 3rd consecutive Best Pitcher award.
