1st April 1889
Last season was tough to take for the fans of the Colonels and they are hoping that this season can provide some sort of improvement. Their hopes were not helped though by the independent league assessors who feel the squad has not improved at all and are predicting another last place finish for the team. They cannot see the team doing well at all and are giving them the worst record in Baseball at 55-99.
The MLB have decided not to make any changes this year and have left the season as 154 games long.
The players were pleased to note that the GM and Manager were willing to forget all about last seasons terrible campaign and begin again with a blank sheet of paper on every player. They put the team through some tough workouts and finally came up with, what they think, is the strongest 25 from their squad for the opening day. This squad is given below.
