Full Count Baseball (FCB) has just finished up it's inaugural regular season. It was a pretty exciting home stretch with two very tight pennant races to claim a spot in the first ever playoff.
We witnessed two amazing comebacks. One from a team who was recently 8 games out of first place and dismantled by injuries, the other by a team who for most of the season battled to stay out of the cellar.
The Chicago Southpaws made an amazing run but came up just a bit short falling 2 games to 1 against the division champ San Antonio Bulls in the final week of the season. Having been 8 games out and short 4 starters in their lineup plus their bullpen setup man, coming in second in the league's toughest division is by no means a slouch of a season. Watching the playoffs from home after finishing with the league's second best record will sting a bit though.
The Phoenix Firebirds were struggling to stay afloat for much of the season and the team nearly dismantled the roster prior to the trade deadline. GM Tomas Bekker did not find anything he liked and chose to stick with the current roster that included dominate hurler Nick Hadsell. Hadsell was on pace for the Triple Crown until the final month of the season. The Firebirds somehow managed to put their name in the two horse race that was going on in the Pacific between the Los Angeles Heroes and Las Vegas Black Jacks. Vegas made some key moves at the trade deadline and seemed to be the sure pick to take home the division pennant. Phoenix would end up winning the division in a remarkable finish.
So here we are set to embark on our first playoffs and crown our first ever Champion.
We have started our roll call for next season and have unfortunately had one owner so far unable to return. It is quite possible that another team or two may open up as the playoffs finish and we get ready to switch gears to the offseason.

As soon as we hear back from everyone in the league and the playoffs have been completed we will have a better idea of which teams are open. Right now is a great time to get your name on the sign-up list though as there is sure to be at least one team open and you can start getting familiar with the league heading into the offseason.
