Back in the early days of Strat there was a live tournament run by Bobby in Las Vegas and I couldn't go. Rob55 was going to be there and was taking quite a bit of ribbing on the boards and was put at longest shot in the tournament at 55-1 odds in one thread. The draft was on Pengray's old draft website prior to going to Las Vegas and in talking with Rob55 we agreed I would draft the team and he would go to Vegas and play it, I usually played small ball and he liked bomber parks so I drafted him a bomber team in his style with a few twists that we reviewed before he left, he won the tournament with and he gave me one of the two awards, a sculpted pair of baseball spikes that I keep on my ledge above my desk. The game reports came in over the weekend and as the reports came in about Rob55's unexpected good fortune game after game it was quite enjoyable.

My two favorites were getting 50 triples in a season out of Joe Evans (I’m sure others have as well but it’s a pretty cool mark)

And getting Walter Johnson to 20 wins and 20 saves in ATG9

Winning barnstormers in my only trip to the finals league was definitely a top moment.

I had a team down by 10 with 2 outs in the ninth. They proceeded to go grand slam, 3 run HR and then walk off slam all with 2 outs. Unfortunately, its an archived game but here is what is left of the boxscore.

Somehow making the Barnstormers Finals last year in my first attempt.

Don't think I will be as lucky this year.
