It took me 7 teams, but I finally won my first championship.
I would like to thank all the folks who gave such excellent advice. Especially nevdully, Moriarty, danielz, JUMA, Munich Man and agabriel.

I was told to get Gary Carter...gave me the best thrown out SB percentage. Granted he only batted .217 (at Griffith), but excelled in the playoffs, batting .314.

Told to get Cleon Jones... had my team best season BA .317/ Playoffs .351

Told to keep Nellie Fox at 2B, even when he was only batting .217. Finished the season at .268/ playoffs [b:6e0905ae47].472[/b:6e0905ae47].

I thought I knew the game, used to play the cards for about 5 - 10 years, awhile back. But wasn't too successful online. Thought I would check the message boards and "participate." Low-and-behold, I win. You guys rock, thanks again. Now maybe I can take what I learned and raise my 2 stars up to 4 or 5.

Way to go Balk ! The 1st one is always so ssssssswweeeeeeeeeeettttttt!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Post more and your stars will rise . :)

That's either really incredible or I really stink at this game. I've had 7 teams finish and not even a sniff of the playoffs.
Anyway, congrats on your championship.

Congrats on the 1st of many...This community loves to help, but I think you did most of this on your own. WTG!!!

:)

congrats....... :D

congratulations... being myself a newbie (no seasons finished), I do have a respect for what you accomplished so quickly!

And I too appreciate the "board help" that the vets offer, always detailed, always sincere, and typically well-founded advice!

1 down, many more to come. Congrats! :D

Way to go. You had a good core. Hopefully, the first of many.

I think the key was joining a league where you didn't have to play "nevdully, Moriarty, danielz, JUMA, Munich Man and agabriel."
Congrats!!!
