HALLELUJAH! IT'S GLORY TIME IN THE IPA!
"The leaves of brown came tumbling down... remember September"... that's right, it's that glorious time of the year all across Islandia... especially for the eight cities that have been blessed with a spot in the Islandian Pro Alliance Pro Cup playoffs: Valmara, St. John, Elnora, Fort Benton, Oxford, Turon, Red Bluff and Denton City... the IPA postseason is a survival of the fittest... three grueling weeks where eight clubs get pared down to one talented... and sometimes one lucky survivior - the IPA Pro Cup champion... each year one and only one city gets to celebrate the ultimate -- the winning of the much-revered and much-coveted Pro Cup trophy, emblematic of professional baseball supremacy throughout the Islands... there is nothing like that euphoric feeling... and it only comes around once a year... that wonderful time is here!

The battle royal begins this Friday afternoon with the St. John Crusaders traveling to Valmara for the opening game of the best-of-seven series... in the other Ruthlandian Union matchup the Elnora All-Stars are heading to Fort Benton to play the Defenders... the Tycobbian Union slate shows the Turon Typhoons welcoming the Oxford Red Caps and Denton City at home against the Red Bluff Red Sox... last year Pro Cup champion, the Middlefield Roosters, will not be back to defend their title... they wound up third in the RU West race, won by Fort Benton... this will be Elnora's first taste of postseason play since 2035... Fort Benton hasn't made an appearance since 2037.

Valmara and Turon will be in quest of a record-setting fifth IPA crown... all of the other six postseason participants have a meager total of three Pro Cup trophies between them... winning the IPA championship has proven to be a difficult task... in the league's 56 years of history 34 of the 64 teams have never won one.
