Jun 25 2062: South and Central America only challenge - by Gherm on December 8th, 2023

I’m going to be releasing all but 3 of my players that are not from central or South America to start a new challenge where I can only have south or Central American players on my team. So look out for some really good free agents!

Mar 25 2062: Start of Cup - by Gherm on November 14th, 2023

Fort Smith swept the Athletics in the first cup series. Many fans have high hopes again this season after a simifinal final run last season. Our Ace, Fred Doyle and Marc Fabbro pitched shutouts. Recent waiver pickup Elián Valle has raked through this first series and it is looking like a brilliant move from GM Gherm. The rockets play the west Fargo turtles in their next cup series. It will be a tough series against the legends league finalists.

Aug 04 2061: Fort Smith continues Cup Cinderella story - by Gherm on October 3rd, 2023

The Fort Smith Rockets continued their amazing run in the cup win a 2-1 series win over the Norman Aces. The Aces jumped out to a lead in the series after a 4-2 win, but Fort Smith rebounded by winning 6-0 in game 2. In the third and deciding game in the series, Fort Smith pitcher Fred Doyle pitched 6 fabulous innings off 1 run ball. The star of the game was shortstop Trent Meyer, who had 2 hits, including a home run, and 2 RBI. Brooks Bench came in to close out the game, and the Rockets moved into the final four of the cup for the first time in a while. Second year owner, Gherm, said in a press conference after the game that he is extremely happy with the way his team is playing and hopes to continue this and maybe even win the cup. They are scheduled to play against the Boca Raton Gryphons, the highest rated team still alive in this tournament. But with the way they’re playing right now, anything is possible.

Apr 29 2046: Michael Yamamoto's 300th League Save - by jedi77 on July 9th, 2020

Michael Yamamoto closes a crazy 10-9 win over Reading Knights to complete his 300th league save at age 32! With only 31 Blown Saves throw 10 major league seasons he has a: 90,6% Save complete percentage, avarages 33 Saves per season since becoming the closer, and only 3.1 Blown Saves per season! He is clutch!
In 2044 he had a clean 0 ERA throw the All Star break and was not voted in! Can someone explaine please!? Ridicoulos. He finished only allowing 7 ER in 45 2/3 innings posting a 1.38 ERA, Elite! He is 2nd in all time saves at the VI.12 league only behind Eugene Wyatt (470 at the league and 764 career saves! What a legend)
Yamamoto never developed to his full potential (15 pot) and caped at 116 SI. That may conlcude in a shorter than expected career for such an elite closer! Thou me the owner and the Fort Smith Rockets are happy and pleased to have Michael be part of our team and wish him the best and elongated career!
