The Trojans luck could only last so long, as they missed the playoffs again in their second year appearing at the Gold level (finishing 5 games out from the second WC spot). Down the stretch they truly faltered, as their 12-15 record in September was the worst month of the season. A bit of luck kept the team in the running most of the season, as the Trojans went 10-1 in extra innings and 24-10 in 1-run games. In the offseason, team leadership hopes to add some power to the lineup which finished last in the league in XBH.
Team MVPs:
Offense - Hughie Jennings - .300/.384/.465, 5.8 WAR
Defense - Ichiro Suzuki (LF) - +17.4 ZR, 1.108 EFF
Pitching - Greg Maddux - 19-10, 3.46 ERA, 173 Ks, 6.1 WAR

The Haymakers stormed through another season, finishing top of their Iron league with a 133-29 record, a .329 team batting average, and 2.86 team ERA. Here's hoping for a third consecutive championship!
Team MVPs:
Offense - Johnny Evers - .346/.469/.526, 9.4 WAR
Defense - Ozzie Smith - +31.4 ZR, 1.143 EFF
Pitching - Herb Pennock - 27-2, 1.88 ERA, 210 Ks, 8.0 WAR
