Hello all and welcome to Season 21, (hey we're legal!). We welcome a couple new owners, and see a move. Have a feeling Les Maroons of Montreal have a little revenge on the mind, after setting the BPF team single season wins record. Largely on the back of the best rotation I've seen in HBD. But that strength wasn't enough to overcome NL upstarts Baltimore Terrapin, who took the World Series in six games, despite finishing with 26 games behind Montreal.

We welcome Doubleday stalwart alumni jibe (Sioux Falls) and nyaggie (Buffalo), as well as mwhelan (Cincinnati). A couple of NL West team now have new homes. Albuquerque has packed up and taken Cain and co. to the home run suppressing effects in Oklahoma home stadium, and bbwinks has decided to give his pitchers a slight break and moved from Colorado to Arizona.Oh, and of course, dhomard has moved out of Cincy, and planted roots in Wichita.

And in the biggest development of all, The Chief, Heinie Cormier, has taken his complaint inducing arse to Chicago. So long, Chief, thanks for nothing.

Hall of Fame voting was extremely lacking, but I'm guilty of not pimping this season's vote. There's too many long term owners here, for there not to be inductees. Next season, kids, next season.

Some notable milestones to watch for are
, who sits 109 hits shy of 3,000. BPF's only player with 3,000 hits is
, and he is 18 dingers away from 700, but at his age, skill descent, and home park, he will retire short of that mark, but you never know.
