6th Place: Eastshore Cotton Kings (76-78) (18 GB)
Last Pennant: 2056
Pro Cups: 2 (2016, 2017)
Overall Elnora has not been a successful IPA franchise... only made 8 postseason appearances, but they have won 2 Pro Cups... did it years ago in back-to-back seasons... the Cotton Kings have not been in high cotton since... '61 was the last good season (3rd place)... they had a terrible year in '62 (8th place), but have somewhat rebounded and turned it around... this year Eastshore almost had a winning season... they can make contact and score fairly well in spite of the lack of firepower... only 96 homers... however, the pitching is pretty bad... especially the starters... defense is also mediocre at best... the Cotton Kings began the season well... heading into June they were 33-19 and just a couple of games behind leading Wynnamac (36-17)... but they went into a tailspin and dropped completely out of the pennant chase... the Cotton Kings posted losing marks in the next three months and fell to the wayside... improved pitching could get Eastshore back in contention.
