Congratulations to Lee300 and his Flatbush Sledgehammers for winning the 2016 Mystery Tournament, beating out Rube's Complete Mystery in a 5 game World Series. It was shades of the 72 Dolphins as the Sledgehammers won the championships in the 60s, 80s, and 90s en route to finishing 1st in the qualifying tournament. In the finals, the Sledgehammers had the best record (92-70) as their dominant pitching made up for their 10th ranked scoring. Interestingly, 3 of the playoff teams played in pitcher's ballparks. The Sledgehammer's Denny McLain pitched a no-hitter in Game 1 of the final's World Series. Way to go Lee!

See you next year.

Thanks Frank. I'm proud and honored to have won the 2016 SOM Mystery Card tournament this year against such esteemed competition. I can never hope to duplicate the level of success that I had in the tourney this year, so I'm just going to savor it now while I can. Obviously everything had to go just right to be able to win 3 of the 4 tourney leagues plus the finals league. Only you Frank, inarguably one of the great SOM MC players, beat me out in the 70's qualifier league Finals, and no shame in that. But I did manage get a measure of retribution by knocking you out of the semis in the Finals league. Sorry man.

Then, to cap off my magical tourney year, Denny McLain pitches a No-Hitter in game 1 of the finals against Rube's Mystery, well, what can I say? Go figure.

I look forward to playing against you all in future SOM leagues, and of course in defending my crown in the 2017 MC Tourney.

Lee
