It was, however, the 3rd time the Frogs have reached the 130-win plateau (winning titles both previous times). The team also extended its streak of 100+ win seasons to 28 weeks, playoff appearances to 22 weeks, and division titles to 7 weeks.
Anywho, it'll be the Frogs vs Rams rumbling in the NC for the right to play in the PL Series this week. It's actually a nice, quality final 4 here in P421. Hamtramck just got by the Quips in a wild G5 in their Division Series.
Standouts for the Frogs this week? RB Pedro (26-4, 2.03 ERA, 8.6 WAR), SE Hoffman (25 SV, 1.64 ERA), SE Wheat (.322/.383/.554, 26 HR, 25 SB), SE Cash (.330/.411/.514, 18 HR, 93 RBI), HoF Simmons (.307/.366/.515, 22 HR, 88 RBI), Cap Anson (.300/.394/.474, 131 R, 16 HR, 30 SB). SE Dick Allen also roasted LHP in his usual platoon 1B role (.335/.407/.601, 14 HR in just 47 starts).
I'm especially glad that HoF Ted Simmons showed up because I decided to sell off 100 Mickey Cochrane to a Discord person even though Simmons had a bad 1st [partial] week with the team last week. Throughout PT20, I think I've been luckiest at the catcher position, first getting LaVa and Smoky Burgess in packs, then 99 Yogi and 100 Cochrane, and most recently HoF Simmons.
Also worth noting is SUPER Ichiro collected his 600th double, 500th stolen base, and has set himself up nicely to get his 4,000th hit next week. SE Appling actually did pass 4,000 hits this week. SE Ed Walsh is in good shape to win #500 next week (provided I don't stick him in the pen). Most of my other players are still too new to have gaudy career stats.
