2nd Place: Midway Wolves (86-69) (1 GB)
Last Year: (101-53) (1st Place)
Two Years Ago: (98-56) (1st Place)
Last Postseason: 2056 (2 Pro Cups - 2053, 2054) (7 Pennants)

Great Hall-of-Fame hurler Bobby Dorignac had done well at the helm of the Wolves, averaging over 98 victories a season the past four years... he just missed out on his fifth consecutive pennant this year... ironically, it was his pitching staff that couldn't deliver this season... the team ERA plummeted from a superb 2.84 ERA in '56 to 3.63 this year... 20-game winners Arnie McGill, Rob Land and Dookie Higgins floundered this year... only Charlie Chase and Will Deberry had effective seasons... the bullpen duo of Jeffrey Leonard and Rocket Rhodes also had subpar seasons... Midway has an aging staff... Chase and Land are 37... but the Wolves still feast at the plate with the likes of superstar Norishige Ito, Daryl Vale and Ted Merritt... rookie slugger Robb Withers prospered this year, too... overall, Midway came back down to earth this year... they are still a good ball club and a contender in the TU East... but not the juggernaut of the past decade... the division is competitive once again.

Teams Stats: .268 BA (8th), 775 runs (3rd), 207 HR (4th), 3.63 ERA (9th), .976 FA (average)

Top Players: Charlie Chase, even at age 37, did well... along with Will Deberry... Norishige Ito plays at his own amazing level... 50 homers, 150 RBI, .341 BA puts him at a higher plane than most IPA players... Vale is some kind of player, too... and Kax Clark is just a solid, good all-around performer... so is Ted Merritt... Dorignac has no problems with the regulars, it's just the pitchers that have to perk up and revert back to the form of the past few years that made the Midway Wolves such a feared ball club.
