New Manager for 1934 season
Now that the 1933 World Series is over, it is time for me to announce that Marc Hollingsworth, manager of the Lincoln City Riptide has resigned from SPB X. Thanks to Marc for his many seasons as an SPB X manager. The new manager taking over this team and returning to SPB X is veteran SPB manager Rick Ryan. He will be renaming the team as the West Baden Sprudel and they will remain in Wrigley Field as their home park.

1933 Final Stats and Power rankings posted
The stats and power rankings for September of 1933 are now posted. Only the World Series remains to be played.
Chris Williams New Haven Whiffenpoofs won the American League by posting a fine 97-57 record, He bested the
Louisville Colonels by 4 games. In the National League Mike See's Las Vegas wins the pennant with an 89-65 record,
besting the Prarie Crossing Red Foxes by 7 games. So it will be these two pennant winning teams taking on each
other in the 1933 World Series.
Our 2 runner up teams, the Colonels and Red Foxes also kept in close contention all year, so jobs well done by
Rich Applegate and Steve Ehresman. The only other teams above .500 for the year were the Detroit Titans (Paul
Meyering) and San Francisco Seals (John Ungashick). Kudos, guys! The rest of us, myself included, just kind of
stumbled along.
I will be sending out the two lists over the next couple of days for 50% player loses, and overuse report as well
as Septembers top player award winners. I will also be preparing the W.S. file for both Mike and Chris soon.
Thanks everyone for another successful SPB X season.

Now is the time to decide your protected rosters for the 1933 Rule 5 draft. The
up to date file is attached with all trade through 146 in tact. Remember there
is no reason to protect your un-carded players, as they are not available in Rule
5 drafts. Here is the number of players each team may protect:
19 Protected Players
San Francisco Seals (Ungashick)
Schenectady Blue Sox (Rahn)
Albany Empires (Turnbull)
Lincoln City Riptide (Hollingsworth)
20 Protected Players

New York Mutuals (DeZarlo)
Las Vegas Knights (See)
21 Protected Players
Borger Gassers (Baxter)
Detroit Titans (Meyering)
Louisville Colonels (Applegate)
San Diego Glaziers (Lehman)
The deadline for submitting your protected list will be this coming Wednesday
(Sept. 21st). So be sure to have yours to me on time. As soon as all protected
lists are received, I will send out the Rule 5 files with all available players
listed on each roster as "farmed". We will then begin the Rule 5 Draft to be
conducted by email. So good luck to each of you. In the meantime, I look
forward to your protected rosters soon.

1933 New Front Office appointments
At this time I would like to announce that Steve Ehresman will become this SPB X's very first beat
writer. In previous years there has not been a writer for SPB X. For those of you who go back far
enough into the past to remember Steve's stint as the early on SPB writer, with his columns as Dr.
Diamond, I am sure you will remember his interesting articles. For those of you (of which there are many)
who do not go back to those early years, I think you will find your in for a treat.
Also, I would like to announce that after being a Commissioner for many seasons in various SPB leagues,
that for the first time I will be taking on the duty as the league statistician for SPB X, replacing Mike
See. I have filled in occasionally as a statistician in a few instances where they were on vacation, or
away for other reasons. I am sure I will be able to do the job well enough to keep the league moving
through the season in a timely fashion.

SPB-X Change of Comissioners
I has certainly been my privilege to serve as your league commissioner at stat for the
first 6 seasons of our league, but I will be handing the reigns of the league over to
our great friend Mr. Gary Plunkitt beginning with the 1933 season, once I send the final
reports out for 1932.
Obviously, the league will remain in great hands.
With 6 different SPB Leagues, with John T, Gary and I each commissioning 2 each, I approached
Gary several months ago about swapping commissioner rolls with SPB-X (1933) and SPB-60
(beginning with the 1960 season), so that we are running league at different times of the
year and there is not so much overlap between seasons and drafts. Thankfully, he agreed,
which will take a lot of added pressure off of me with having two leagues happing at once,
and also allow me to re-take the reigns in SPB-60, where I was originally commish, as we head
into the expansion years. Thanks to Gary for agreeing to take this on.
While I am stepping down as commish and league stat (someone will need to fill in this roll,
and Gary will determine that), I will happily be remaining in the league as a manager, and
look forward to many more exciting seasons on baseball together.
All my best, and thanks to all of you for making my job an easy one,
Mike See
