All good. The schedule loaded, and the Spring Training games miraculously appeared as well. (On off days, I scheduled games for the CL Mounties with AL and NL teams.).

I managed to sign enough players to fill out my minor league teams. Not sure about the 35-man rosters. Seems like the guys wo’t get enough playing time. I am going to change the rosters back to 25 at most.

At the major league level, I lost out in bidding for Ralph Terry, the last prime SP left. My rotation was Don Newcombe, Sandy Koufax, and a trio of rookies. Somehow, I managed to acquire Frank Larry and Johnny Podres, by shopping Turk Farrell and Hal Smith. Now, the young guys will have time to develop in AAA. My bullpen i strong, with Lindy McDaniel and Hank Aguirre.

In the preseason predictions, the Mounties are chosen to finish first in a close race. The Yanks are the choice over Baltimore in the AL, and the Giants are slight favorites over the Dodgers in the NL.
