6th Place: San Alejo Montaneros (73-81) (6th)
Last Pennant: 2064
Pro Cups: 1 (2032)
Lately the Monties have been up and down... 2nd place in '62 (12 GB), dipped to fifth in '63 (19 GB), rebounded and won the TU South flag in '64, then tumbled down to 6th this season (23 GB)... the offense is adequate with a solid .271 BA, 647 runs and 145 homers... pitching is also just average with a 3.78 ERA... ditto defense with a .978 FA... it was a disappointing year... the preseason pundits picked the Montaneros to win the TU South again, but they never were a presence in the race... San Alejo ran near the bottom of the division most of the season... they are just a pitcher and a hitter away from being a serious contender again... the bullpen could use some help... historically the Monties have made the playoffs only on 9 occasions and have just one Pro Cup trophy... they have chalked up a .498 won-lost percentage...
