Jan 13 2065: Holden Out Hope: Veteran 1B Returns - by NotGood88 on June 18th, 2024On January 13, 2050, 18 year old first baseman Manny Holden was let go by the newly renamed Prattville Black Cats. 15 seasons and 8 franchises later, the now-33 year old Holden returned to the team via waivers to serve as the team's next platoon DH. "What a thrill to be back," Holden remarked. "The place looks the same as I left it!" Except that the then-VI.30 dwelling Cats are now in Legends. Should he play a single game, Holden will join a select group of players to have played at all 6 levels of the game.
Oct 30 2064: Harley Throws No-Hitter (Again)! - by NotGood88 on June 11th, 2024
Tied 2-2 in the II.2 playoff series heading into Game 5, Black Cats ace Jeremy Harley turned in a gem, giving up only 3 walks in a 98-pitch outing. The 33-year old notched his second no-no of his career (he pitched another on May 11, 2061) and a spot in the team Hall of Fame.
Oct 14 2064: Legends Bound! - by NotGood88 on June 8th, 2024
With a walkoff double in the 12th against Wellington on Oct 8, the Black Cats clinched promotion to Legends. This will be their second appearance, after a 1-season stay in 2020 under former owner Ainsoph.
Mar 25 2064: Prattville PR Man vs. Polish 1B: Who Wins? - by NotGood88 on April 15th, 2024
"I thought I'd seen it all" bemoaned Prattville PR man and franchise legend David Lamb. "I thought, 'Surely it couldn't get any worse than Ybarra.'" However, he thought wrong. The San Antonio native was visibly sweating as he prepared to introduce recent draftee Aleksander Szewczyk. "His last name looks like what happened to my Word document when I fell asleep on the keyboard last night," Lamb exclaimed. "Aren't there supposed to be more vowels?" Lamb is purportedly advance-planning a party to celebrate Szewczyk's release, should it come before Lamb steps down from his role.
Oct 18 2063: Unwise Draftee Cuts: A Summary - by NotGood88 on March 24th, 2024
As owner NotGood88 is stressed in anticipation of a season-deciding series against the Concord Jets tonight, he decided to compile a list of draftees he cut that have performed so well with other teams that he now regrets doing so. After careful consideration, the final list is…
7. [url=http://https://brokenbat.org/player/267784]Azriel David[/url] - Although largely residing in the lower leagues, David's short stint in Prattville produced exactly 0 of his 1,280 career hits.
6. Yukio Saitō - Let loose after 2 disastrous seasons, the Japanese forkballer later blossomed into an elite reliever for Revere, leaving heads scratching back at the Black Cats office.
5. Genaro Lira - 4+ middling campaigns with the Black Cats were quickly erased from memory, as his offensive revival helped Gulf Breeze ride a wave up to LL 3.
4. Gary Santoro - Cut at 18 by the Cats, Santoro used a second chance at Colton to become a fixture in their offense, with 3 straight 20-homer seasons under his belt now,
3. Korey Abel - The tropical air of Wahiawa helped en-Abel the outfielder to procure 3 All-Star selections in his 4 full campaigns with the Sharks.
2. Josh Smart - Owner NotGood88 did not feel very Smart after seeing the 2055 draftee break the 100-RBI plateau at the young age of 25 as a member of Chesterfield.
1. Clint Caruso - Few can argue against a .316 AVG and a 1.022 OPS, as Caruso's Appleton is on the verge of securing a promotion to III.1. Obviously, the scouts didn't see that type of season when he was let go at 19.
Afraid the list was too short? Fear not! There are more, recently cut players who still have a chance to make me pay for dropping them. On the watch list are…
Daniel Bates
Cody Isom
Fidel Casillas
Wes Speer
Marcos Vasquez
Andrian Hess
Lewis Boyle
Tune in at a much later date when someone in the front office remembers this list and decides to update it!
