When it came to batting average, no one hit better than
Al Bumbry of the
Seattle Cascades this season.

Happy days are here for the playoff-bound teams. The Major Sim Baseball regular season is over and the playoffs will soon get under way to determine the league's best team for 1972. The clubs are planning their lineups and pitching rotations, going over scouting reports, trying to glean bits of information that might give them the edge. Nothing is seemingly left to chance. It takes a lot of talent and sometimes a little luck to bring home the World Sim trophy.
From spring training to the last out of the regular season, it has been the goal of every GM, team, manager and player to reach the Major Sim Baseball playoffs. They all aspire to win baseball's Holy Grail, the World Sim title. Now, for the elite teams, the first steps of that journey begin in earnest with the League Championship Sim starting today. The opening playoff series will pit these teams against one another:
Eastern League Championship Sim (ELCS)
Indianapolis Racers vs Charlotte Monarchs
and
Western League Championship Sim (WLCS) "Dub LCS"
Houston Oilers vs Seattle Cascades.
