My team, the Grundy Center Fielders, managed by John Fogerty, have entered the league.

For what it's worth, I've named all my Players Championship teams after towns in Iowa, the state where I grew up:

Amana Plan a Canal
Lone Tree Huggers
North Liberty Bells
What Cheer Leaders
Mount Pleasant Dreams

Thanks Jeep for setting up the league,

Good luck everyone

Just going through the lists of stadiums used and thought I would share a few observations:

- 15 stadiums have been used by more than one of the 12 team owners, another nine have been used by only one owner. Six have not been used at all.

- The most used stadium is AT&T, which has been used by seven of the 12 owners. Great American and Camden Yards have each been used by five owners.

Stadiums used by more than one owner include:

- Every one of the nine stadiums with a ballpark HR rating of 13 or higher for either righties or lefties.
- Five of the seven stadiums with a summed ballpark HR rating of 11 or lower - calculated by adding righty and lefty ballpark HR ratings together (including AT&T; Fenway and Metrodome are the exceptions having been used by one team owner each).

The only stadium to be used multiple times that is not in either of the above categories is the lefty-favoring Progressive (11-8, 9-6), which has been used by two team owners.

What does all this mean in terms of what we can expect for the semi-finals? I have no idea.

DT is ready.

I'm going to miss Al and his arcane bits of Stratrivia as I struggle to remain competitive in Division Three. :D

I didn't receive the PW. Could you send it to me again?

Loaded...

Jake, I've sent it to you again. Hope it takes this time.
