Athens Times#3

After their best sim of the year winning 5 out of 6 games. the Fighting Centaurs stumbled last week and could only muster up a 2-5 week. Athens was swept by the 1st place Bucharest squad in a series that didn't provide much excitement as the Impalers showed why they are a contender for this years
UMEBA title. Tannehill's record is hovering around .500 at 33-35 since taking over and has had plenty of ups and downs early on but still thinks Athens is only a couple of acquisitions away from making that next step forward.

Good News came this week in the form of the Bancroft Rookie of the Month award going to 1B Yancy Cravat=https://statspl.us/brewster/reports/new ... 31138.html

Cravat is playing in the UMEBA after a successful 10 year career in the BBA mostly with New Orleans but was traded just in time to play with Louisville last year and won a championship with them. Even though Yancy hit 38 HR and drove in 94 RBI for Louisville the strikeouts and OBP were too unslightly it looks like for him to stick around the BBA and lucky for Athens he decided to keep playing for the love of the game and to hang out in the Mediterranean... Cravat at 32 years old looks to have a couple of good seasons left in him so hopefully he's around to see this Athens team make that push to get to that next level where Bucharest and Beruit now reside

It's always nice when the big new signing plays well.

Tip for the links. Use

(url=address of player page)Player Name(/url)

Replace all the ( & ) with [ & ]

And that’ll give you perfectly formed links
