Integration Era Baseball Tournament: GARAINALS ARE CHAMPS!

[Norah]

a month or so, I'm willing to go to arbitration on this issue though if you disagree

[Kaius]

Hmm... How about until the beginning of the next whatif season, then?

[numbers]

One month seems reasonable.

[Norah]

How about through the month of September?

[Kaius]

That's fine.

RMing in the strip club. Oh yeah...

[philpritchard]

We should do this random theme team thing as a short playoff-style tournament the way we did the first one. Eight teams, best-of-seven rounds... it would be fairly quick and easy, since it's not really one of our regular tournaments.

[Norah]

I still need a short first baseman.

Apparently I am.

Ripper Collins. 5'9". Lead the league in HR, SLG, and OPS in 1934.

Maximum height of 5'9". Any lower than that and I'd never have filled the roster. I also avoided deadball era players.

[philpritchard]

What's the ruling on salary cap?

[Norah]

Did I go over?
