..........SEASON # 54 UPDATE...... WE ARE NOW HALFWAY THROUGH THE SEASON...... WHAT TEAMS WILL WIN THEIR DIVISION.... AND WHAT TEAMS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS???  ............... IS IT TOO EARLY TO MAKE PREDICTIONS?? ........   LET'S TAKE A LOOK TO SEE WHERE THINGS STAND......... IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WESTERN DIVISION..... HOME TO TWO OF THE OF "POWERHOUSE" TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE..... THE KONA COAST COFFEE GROWERS AND THE VOLBEAT GHOST ARCHERS........ BOTH TEAMS WITH WINNING PERCENTAGES NEAR (OR ABOVE) .700  ............... IT'S JUST A MATTER OF WHO WILL WIN THE DIVISION... AND WHO WILL BE SLOTED AS THE TOP "WILD CARD" TEAM........... THEN THERE IS THE SHORELINE SOCKEYES........WITH A CURRENT  .750 WINNING PERCENTAGE.... AS THEY MARCH OVER THEIR "COMPETITION" ON THEIR WAY TO A POSSIBLE 3RD STRAIGHT LEAGUE TITLE.......... ALL THE OTHER DIVISIONS (STILL)  HAVE STRONG DIVISIONAL BATTLES SHAPING UP............ THE GREENSBORO SMOKE ARE LEADING THE CENTRAL DIVISION WITH A .519 "WINNING" PERCENTAGE...... STRONG AT HOME (.820 AT HOME  32-7.... BUT A PATHETIC .238  10-32 ON THE ROAD).... ROCKY MOUNTAIN AND CONCORD STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO CATCH THE SMOKE.......  THE VIRGINIA DESTROYERS ARE LEADING THE SOUTHERN DIVISION (ALSO WITH A .519 PERCENTAGE).... BUT THEY ARE PLAYING "EVEN" ALMOST .500 BOTH AT HOME AND THE ROAD....... DON'T COUNT OUT THE RICHMOND BANSHEES..... A COUPLE OF SERIES WINS WILL SHOOT THEM TO THE TOP OF THE OF THE DIVISION.....MICHIGAN MARVELS HAVE JUMPED TO THE TOP OF THE GREAT LAKES DIVISION.... BUT DON'T COUNT OUT TULSA AND CHICAGO FOR THE LEAGUE LEAD.... OR A SPOT AS A WILD-CARD  TEAM.......... THE SAME SITUATION EXISTS IN THE EASTERN DIVISION..... THE GILEAD GUNSLINGERS ARE CURRENTLY THE DIVISION LEADER.... BUT BOTH ALBANY AND MISSISSIPPI ARE EASILY WITHIN DISTANCE TO TAKE OVER 1ST PLACE........ A KEY FACTOR THAT WILL PROBABLY DETERMINE DIVISION CHAMPION OR WILD-CARD SPOT.... WILL BE WHO CAN "PICK IT UP" AND WIN ON THE ROAD....... ALL (3) THREE TEAMS ARE PERFORMING UNDER .500 IN THEIR AWAY GAMES...... AN INTERESTING PIECE OF INFORMATION.... 15 OF 24 TEAMS CURRENTLY HAVE WINNING RECORDS AT HOME..... WHILE ONLY 8 OF 24 TEAMS HAVE A WINNING RECORD ON THE ROAD...... WHO WILL BE ABLE CREATE SOME MAGIC IN THEIR CM INSTRUCTIONS??   DIVISION WINNER?   WILD-CARD TEAM?  OR "WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR".... IT MOST CERTAINLY WILL BE AN EXCITING 2ND HALF OF THE SEASON .........................................................................................................................................................................

IN G.U.S.S.O.M.O.... WE ALL WANT TO PLAY “CENTERFIELD”…

BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR A BALL GAME...

 

 

Our League started in March 1971 as a "straight team" replay (League members managed  one of 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. 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 that he 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.
