The Stone League Finals went the distance despite the Magpies jumping out to a 2 games to none lead. The opponent was the Santiago Capitales, the wild card entry from the other conference. Although, they swept the 121-win Charleston Riverdogs in the Division Series, they needed 7 games to defeat the 97-win Grand Forks River Rats. So, no problem, right? A closer look at their roster yielded some unpleasant news: Special Edition cards, Greg Maddux, Duke Snider and Mel Ott and joined the Capitales just in time for the playoffs along with 17 other Special Edition cards already there. Oops... and after losing game 6 at home 11-0, I thought I was done for. Not really--thankfully I was AFK, so saw that ugly fact after the joyous 17-3 triumph in Game 7!

Greg Maddux was named best pitcher over triple crown winner Randy Johnson and Jeff Bagwell was named MVP. 7 of 9 starters won Great Bat.
