1982 Ballpark Changes
The Wabash River Catfish are vacating the Metrodome and will move into
Riverfront Stadium. The Las Vegas Thunder will then take the Metrodome and
vacate the Kingdome
This will leave the Kingdome and Oakland Coliseum as the
two open stadiums.

1981 End of Season files
Now that the split season is over, I present to you the end of season
Use or Lose and
Overusage results for each team. Considering the challenge
with usage, we actually as a whole had fewer games of penalties handed
out than we did in 1980!

Thank you everyone for finishing a challenging season. I know it was confusing at times with the pro-rated

We are onto 1982...the year I graduated High School

1981 August stats and Power rankings posted
The stats and power rankings for August of 1981 are now posted.
We now head into week to week play.
Active rosters can be set to up to 40 players.
I have farmed all players on rosters that are either future players or those
who have met or exceeded their limits according to the attached spreadsheet.
Please contact me if you have any questions about a particular player.
A reminder that the 50% use or lose is based on the REAL LIFE stats for the 81
season, meaning they are more relaxed for this season. The usage meter is an
accurate guide for hitters, as well as pitchers, along with meting the 50% Games
pitched.
We have a few very close races that are still yet to be decided. The Triangles
and River Flames are in a dead heat in the AL West, while the AL East is separated
by just 1 game.
Netplay is encouraged.....especially for those series that are playoff-dependent.
Usage has been reset for the Final time this season. Starting with your first game,
your pitching rotations must be in chronological order for the remainder of the
season plus the post season. Starters must have at least 3 days calendar rest between
starts.
Do NOT reset player usage after playing your series.

1981 New Manager in place
Gentlemen: Mike Boling and the Terre Haute Phillies have decided to relinquish their franchise. I would like to thank Mike for his many years in SPB-1 and he leaves in good standing. He will remain in SPB-2. Taking his place is long-time DMB player Chris Longo, who will be renaming his team the "Beast Coast Brushbacks." He has given up rights to Riverfront Stadium and is now claiming Yankee Stadium for his team, leaving Riverfront and the Oakland Coliseum as the two available parks. Welcome aboard Chris!
