P438: It's Time to Play the Music, It's Time to Light the Lights

Final standings of P438 are below. A few quick thoughts:

- Huntley's Norm Cash won the AC batting and OPS titles; Barry Bonds won the AC RBI crown; and Ozzie Smith said, "Nice job, fellas, but you forgot one thing," and proceeded to flash his leather all over every park en route to a third-place finish in AC WAR (behind Gonzaga's Yelich and Mantle).

- Not to be outdone, Red Raider Curt Schilling topped the AC in pitching wins, while Clemens and Walsh finished second and third in ERA (behind Gonzaga's Rube Waddell's astounding 1.93 ERA!). Huntley's Ed Walsh managed to take the AC pitching WAR title, though.

- Oh, and Huntley's Mariano Rivera did this: 3-0, 38 SV, 0.34 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 1282 ERA+ (!!), 2.3 WAR. That'll do, Mariano; that'll do.

In a little more than an hour, Gonzaga will take on the 100-62 Burlington Bisons in the Wild Card game. Burlington is a solid team that Huntley has come across before; although the Bisons have yet to capture a Perfect League title, they've been in Perfect since 2024 without being relegated and have made the playoffs 22 times. Plus, they have that sweet, sweet alliteration that PT 2.0 is a known sucker for. In other words, the Coin Flip Game is always, well, a coin flip, but Burlington is a particularly strong upset-special kind of team. Here's hoping the Zag's Rube Waddell can keep his extraordinary season going with one more dominant performance...
