2000s Week is Next Week (Aug. 18-24)!

Hello, everyone! Exciting news coming up - there will be a theme week in Perfect Team 26 leagues the week of Aug. 18-24!

2000s Week is coming next week!

League play next week will be in 2004, a year where a lot of exciting things happened! (List via Paul Sporer)
  • Vlad Sr. & Bonds were MVPs... we'll work around Bonds, can't just avoid his years altogether, though, or else half of the 2000s would be off limits
  • Johan & Rocket won the CYs
  • Bobby Crosby & Jason Bay won the ROYs
  • Adrian Beltre led baseball w/48 HRs, highlighting an amazing walk yr
  • Ichiro hit an incredible .372 this yr, but of course that card is already out w/his Immortal Seasons offering
  • Scotty Pods swiped an MLB-high 70 bases w/Carl Crawford close behind at 59... no one else topped 45
  • The Cards had 3 of the top 6 FanGraphs WAR totals (Rolen 3rd, Edmonds 5th, and Pujols 6th)
  • Randy Johnson had a 10 WAR season but lost what probably should've been his 6th CY to Clemens (6 WAR)
  • 42 pitchers reached 200 IP; 4 reached that mark last yr
  • Jake Peavy had a sparkling 2.27 ERA but his season was cut short to injury w/just 166 IP
  • Livan Hernandez led the lg w/9 Complete Games; he & the next 4 guys (5 each) totaled 29 CGs that year... there were 28 IN BASEBALL last yr
  • Mariano Rivera had 53 SVs and 9 others eclipsed 40 (2 hit 40 last yr)
Not all of these players mentioned are guaranteed next week, but the 2000s take center stage for T4, Clubhouse, and TWIPT with a special focus on '04! Stay tuned next week!

Run environment info for 2004 compared to regular league play environment (2010) is here as well:
