Overview
The Glorious Revolution has to start somewhere. The depths that this baseball team has reached is not due to the inadequacies of Communism - nyet! In fact, just implying that it might got the writer of that last sentence "re-educated". Nyet, this team is bad because of the legacy of capitalism and Czarism. However, the capitalist pig-dogs will not prevail! Just wait and the proletariat will prove not just the equal of the rest of you but the better! Our strong Soviet backs will lift us to the top!
Retirements

1B Iokim Partasov - A rock of the team in 1919 but slipped in 1920 and "elected" to ply his trade in Siberia instead.

Pitching
Because we lacked individual stars, the Soviet Socialist Republic went with quantity. As you can see, it worked unbelievably well. Even though the top pitcher finished just 47th in the league in innings pitched, the team was still more or less league average in terms of pitching quality. That is called the wave of communism. And as our men get better and better, we will crush our opponents behind the monstrous strength of collectivist philosophies and such.

Batting
And offensively, our plan is working just as well! Oh, sure, it didn't accomplish as much in terms of old-fashioned capitalist metrics such as "runs scored" or "batting average", but it did its thing while having only two men achiee more than 500 at-bats. Just as we Proletariat share the wealth, so do we share the load. This means that when a man like Ioakim Partasov (now "retired" to Siberia) falters, there are 3 or 4 men to rise up and take his place. And they will do that while singing the new hymns that have been written for our man Vladimir Lenin. Huzzah, Lenin! Huzzah, workers!
