Legend has it, that after Maximo Romano won the Mexican National League Pitcher of the Year award for the second year in a row in 2015 someone quipped "Why don't we just call it the Romano award?"

And that's why the league bestows the award on the best pitcher the "Romano Award"

But it wasn't just Maximo from whom it got its name.

Antonio Romaro was born in Victoria, Mexico in 1984. And all his life he wanted to be a professional ball...

Is done and we're in the playoffs!

Some of my pitchers bit the dust early on, but aside from that everyone did what they needed to do.

William, Jackson and Burke all mashed ~ 20 homers and hit well enough to ensure that we produced enough runs. Can't say how proud I am of the boys, they did a great job.

Morant Bay Smoke v. The Thunderclouds...

Opening day is here.

After a terrible spring in which our incumbent catcher is ruled out with a 10 month injury (and subsequently released) and the team ending up with a .333 record we are ready to begin.

After fretting over stats and contracts I am just looking forward to sitting in the dugout and calling the first game.

Our line up is as follows for opening day 2020 in Jamaica.


1. Jackson (RF) - solid hitting lead off man
...

I arrive in the offices and find the Black River Thunderclouds are a mess.

There are players getting horribly over paid to just sit on the reserve roster and not do anything. I get another heart attack when I see the list of contracts that the team is trying to extend. I cut out as much of the dead wood as I can early on.

First thing I do is look for some power and sign 1B Ken Seals to mash some home runs into the bleachers. He's never played above AA ball but my scouts...

Need I say any more?
