      WE ARE TWO-THIRDS THROUGH OUR SEASON... AND WHILE TEAMS IN 5 OF THE 6 DIVISIONS APPEAR TO HAVE A PRETTY STRONG HOLD ON 1st PLACE... THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF TEAMS WITH GOOD CHANCES TO MAKE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS.... THE 4 "WILD CARD" SPOTS WILL PROBALBY GO DOWN TO THE WIRE.... AFTER WINNING 9 GAMES IN A ROW... THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN OYSTERS (CURRENTLY AT .552 WINNING PERCENTAGE) WOULD BE AMONG THE 4 TEAMS TO QUALIFY AS WILD CARD TEAMS.... BUT AS REMAINING PLAYER USAGE COMES MORE INTO PLAY... THAT LIKLELIHOOD  LOOKS TO BE REAL SHAKY...... THERE ARE 5 TEAMS... GREENSBORO .500.... NORTHWEST OHIO  .510... FENWAY .464.... KONA .463... AND MICHIGAN .461 THAT COULD EASILY MAKE THE JUMP AND MAKE THE PLAYOFFS..... THE EASTERN DIVISION PROBABLY WILL BE A RACE FOR 1st PLACE UNTIL THE VERY LAST WEEK OF THE SEASON..... BUSTER'S IS LEADING BY ONLY  2 1/2  GAMES OVER ALBANY.... AND RICHMOND IS ONLY  3 1/2 GAMES OUT OF 1ST PLACE......... HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE IN BASEBALL???  WELL... IT HAPPENED IN  G.U.S.S.O.M.O....... A STARTING PITCHER BEING THE WINNER.... AND LOSER IN TWO NO-HITTERS....... THE FIRST ONE WAS BY THE MISSISSIPPI BIG ORANGE (THE 2nd NO-HITTER THEY'VE EVER HAD IN G.U.S.S.O.M.O.)....THEIR  PITCHER... KOLBY ALLARD...TOSSED A  2-0 "NO HIITER" AGAINST THE RICHMOND BANSHEES DURING WEEK # 5.... THE LOSING PITCHER WAS KENTA MAEDA..... THEN.... DURING WEEK # 8..... GUESS WHAT???..... KENTA MAEDA FACED OFF AGAINST  THE McHENRY CYBERMEN AND WAS THE WINNING PITCHER..... IN A 7-0  NO-HITTER... THIS WAS THE  3rd NO-HITTER IN BANSHEE HISTORY.....  AGAIN.... NOT SURE IF THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED.........CHECK THE STANDINGS REGULARLY.... THEY'RE UPDATED ALL THE TIME.... AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE HIGHLIGHTS.... WE'VE HAD SOME INTERESTING AND CRAZY GAMES THIS SEASON..... 

NOW IN OUR 50th CONSECUTIVE YEAR!

Our League started in March 1971 as a "straight team" replay (League members managed the actual Major League teams).  Jeff Fleischman is the League Commissioner, taking over direction and naming the League  G.U.S.S.O.M.O. two months into the beginning of the first season when the original Commissioner (who was in the Air Force at the time) informed all the Original League members that he was being transferred from Northern California to Germany and would not be able to continue running the League. He sent all the League material (paperwork and statistics... minus, of course, the League treasury/dues) to Jeff... who re-organized and cleaned things up and has been running the League ever since.
