1941...miraculously Japan didn't attack Pearl Harbor as OOTP continues to change history. New Orleans, with 3 Series wins in the leagues first 4 seasons, is a dynasty.
After having to let a few of their stars go to Free Agency to comply with the house rules and the self imposed salary cap; New Orleans set league history with all 4 of their starters winning 20+ games. Ralph Robinson continued his dominance with a 23-2 record and winning his 3rd Cy Young award. Both losses were 1 run affairs in which the offense failed to produce a single run. 3rd year FA acquisition Al Deems went 20-8, bringing his record with N.O. to 62-23. #3 starter Steve Miskell went 23-7 for his 2nd 20 win season with the club. 2nd year FA Orlando Black also hit the 20 win plateau, at 21-7 bringing his Big Easy career mark to 41-13.
Closer Hugh Johnson continued to set the tone in the bullpen, saving 39 games and bringing his career save mark to 190 over 5 seasons.
Donnie Sanchez continued to pound the ball in '41, hitting .334 with 33 bombs and 104 RBI.
Of the 9 pitchers to win 20 games in the 4 year history of Mui League, New Orleans has 7 of them.
