THE CHRONICLE - VOLUME 12, ISSUE 1

JANUARY 1, 1912: The tide has turned and the top teams in baseball now appear to reside in the National League. They are easily the favorites to win their 5th NL pennant in the past 6 years. Over in the American League, the Red Sox boast what may very well be the best offense in the game. With the likes of Tris Speaker and Joe Jackson topping off their batting order, no lead is safe. Watch out if they both get hot at the same time. Both of them are quite young, so we should expect to see the Red Sox near the top of the standings throughout the remainder of the teens.

Prospect Watch: CHRIS "THE GRIMSBY LOCOMOTIVE" JOYCE

He may sound funny, but this kid isn't down south of his Ontario home just for the weather. Joyce can pitch. Hailing from Grimsby, Ontario, this young man is proof positive that baseball is not just a sport for the United States, but also for the rest of the Americas...and eventually the world. While other kids were smacking rubber pucks around on the ice, Joyce was finetuning his talents in snowball fights. Packed just right, an iceball can be nearly the same density as a regulation baseball.

Talents (Stuff/Control/Movement): 100/80/70
Current Ratings: 32/29/33
