Just 2.3 run support per game for Clay this year against his 2.52 ERA has left him with a losing record, but it has been another excellent season for the LA ace. Will it be good enough for him to keep his CYA streak alive? We'll have to wait and see - performances like this one, however, won't harm his chances one bit.

Another no-no for the PBL, from a somewhat unexpected source. Frank didn't register his first PBL win until his third season in the league and has a career 12-11 record. Just goes to show...

Scott Rolen has been the picture of consistency so far in his PBL career, slashing a fine 275/335/461 with 96 HR and just under 400 RBI, amassing 19.1 WAR. This is a highlight in another strong campaign for the Firebirds cornerman.

The fairytale seasons for Seattle and New Orleans continue to the end as both lock down their respective divisions. All four turn out to be fairly clear-cut.

Joe Morgan's 148 bases on balls sets a new mark.

Fernando Valenzuela has the most strikeouts with 318, while Greg Maddux matches his and Addie Joss's 23 win record, and sets a new mark with his 0.90 WHIP. Rube Waddell does likewise with his 47 saves.

How will Boston react to having survived that massive scare by the absolute barest of margins? Not sure it matters all that much as this Triplets team looks like it is on a date with Destiny. If Mad Dog and King Felix can spin their magic, however...

Carolina in 7.

Let's - as the WWF fraternity likes to scream - get ready to rumble! The 1965 PBL season is ready and raring to go. 1973 LTMs being applied this go-around.

Preseason predictions as follows, although I'm going with a Gothams (third time's the charm...) v Triplets showdown.

And the top-rated players. I'm looking for big years from Tom Seaver and Duke Snider, with the Babe finally starting to have more of an impact.
