June stats and power rankings posted 
DAYTON, OH - The stats and power rankings for May is now posted.  The Lighthouse have made their strongest campaign in their existence to vault in front of their competition in the AL East. Meanwhile, the Redbirds hold their accustomed place roosting atop the AL West; however, the rest of the division, including the upstart Pitcairn Islanders, are all breathing hotly down their necks. 

Over in the NL, the Kitsilano Hedgehogs and Wabash Rivers are once again in front of their divisional rivals. Once again, however, nothing is very clear.

New manager in the fold 
DAYTON, OH - In conjunction with Co-Commish Chris Williams it is my pleasure to announce that we have a new manager for the coming 1992 season. Tom Kackley will step in as new manager for the old Lake Superior Whitecaps, replacing former manager Greg Stillwagon who has left the league. Tom is renaming the team as the Beach City Dukes and switching ballparks too. Tom is currently a manager in SPB NOW. He is abandoning Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium and will play his home games in Milwaukee's County Stadium. So the current available parks for SPB V become Cincinnati (Riverfront Stadium) and Houston's Astrodome. Please welcome Tom to SPB V!

Expansion update 
BOWLING GREEN, OH - As a reminder, we have 2 expansion managers lined up for 1993. Expansion WILL be taking place. This means, in accordance with established SPB practice, than any player who played for the Rockies or Marlins in real life during the 1993 season is subject to drafting by the expansion teams, which means that if you draft them, it is with a view ONLY to their 1992 performance. Because of the big trade between the Marlins and Padres that season (Sheffield, Hoffman), there are some big names who are taken off the table (though, of course, Hoffman is a rookie in 1993).

1992 Draft date set 
BOWLING GREEN, OH - After much consultation, it has been determined that the draft will take place on April 19, beginning at 11:00am EDT. The Phase I portion of the draft, and as much as possible of Phase II will take place in the draft room. This was by far the date most favored by the membership. There were a couple people who indicated they could not attend on this date, but there was a slightly larger number who could ONLY attend on this date, so it wound up being a difficult, yet clear decision.

I will be running things from the auditorium. It is not clear at this point whether I will be able to host visitors at my home in NW Ohio. It comes at a difficult time in the semester, with only two weeks remaining after that weekend. Plus, I am involved in rehearsals for a musical performance the next day.
