This is absolutely amazing. I know I'm going to learn a lot about this league reading this.

Re: Your 70th Anniverary, 2042 Media Guide!
I’m sure Ron can publish these for real, they’re that good. Imagine how much a full set would go for on eBay?
I have to agree with the Wichita predictions, we probably will be worse than 2041, but it’s a double edged sword, do you improve the team or fix the leaking cash first? I don’t really think you could do both at the same time? Or at least it would take a better GM than me (which probably isn’t hard). I don’t know who this OF Thad Meyer sleeper is, I can’t find him lol.
With the whole league looking for pitching I haven’t got much chance of improving that via FA or trade, so I have to grow my own and that will take some years. So it makes sense to address the financial drain while I’m waiting for these draftees to miraculously develop into BBA pitchers
Fingers crossed guys, it’s going to be a long hard ride

Duane Whitley is such a sleeper, I snoozed off when doing that part of your preview!Fat Nige wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 6:34 pmI’m sure Ron can publish these for real, they’re that good. Imagine how much a full set would go for on eBay?

That "State of the Brewster" was an awesome walk down memory lane to see how far this league has come, not to mention it paired nicely with Wilson's Pantheon finale and Recte's 7 for 70 lists.JimBob2232 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 1:11 pmGreat job! And love the Recte letter. Never knew some of those stories!

Great work everyone. A special thanks to Ron, Joe, Justin, and Aaron for all the work put into the Guide once again.

I'm pretty sure I have relatives who can give me a rabbit stew recipe off the top of their head. Interested?
