No final day drama as both the Giants and American Giants clinch their hard-won Association titles with a few games to spare. The Monarchs become the first EL team to lose 100 games in a season and just how competitive 1969 was is shown by the fact that Hilldale's 96 wins was the most of any club.




In two incredibly tight batting crown races, both George Scott of the Giants (327) and Bernie Williams of the Lincoln Giants (334) win by just a point. Rich Coggins finishes top 3 in each TC category with 312 / 35 / 112.

A late flurry of longballs sees Hilldale's Ruben Mateo set a new season high with 38 and he does likewise with 134 RBI. Spot Poles leads the league with 40 successful swipes, yet another record.

Shohei Ohtani's win total stays at 27, one ahead of Atlantic City's Ruben Quevedo, and he also posts the best ERA of the year with 1.96, another record. He only misses out on the TC by 15 strikeouts behind fellow rookie Yovani Gallardo's 303, as Quevedo sets a new high across in the FC with 309. Chicago's Hisanori Takahashi eclipses Shingo Takatsu's previous mark with 44 saves.
