World Series Final Totals

Hey All,

As part of my official duties as commissioner of the Longball League, I congratulate the Invisible Hands for winning the Longball League World Series! The Invisible Hands are the 2013 Longball League Champions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They bested the Oxford House Elves 124-118.

The series went down to the wire and then some as the playoff game for the second American League WIld Card slot decided the title.

Rumor is that Invisible Hands owner Rod Weissler's favorite player now is Tampa Bay Rays Pitcher David Price.

The Commissioner would also like to thank everyone who took part in the league this season.  I hope you all come back for 2014.  After all, spring training is only about 150 days away.

So now, I leave us all to enjoy the MLB playoffs and the real World Series, but for now in the Longball League our game is called and I will sign off by quoting Grantland Rice...


Game Called

Across the field of play
the dusk has come and the hour is late.
The fight is done and lost or won,
the player files out through the gate.
The tumult dies, the cheer is hushed,
the stands are bare, the park is still.
But through the night there shines the light,
home beyond the silent hill.




Until next season folks, I'll see you back here when the grass is new and lush and everyone has pennant dreams.

-The Commissioner
