meh, that's the weakest hitting line-up i have ever seen win a single WS, let alone two in a row.

97 team hr's? really?

the only reason for this is because the NL totally sucks nards right now.

Ah, the beauty of the manufactured run! Of course home runs look nice on the stat sheet, but are overrated in this game IMO.

overrated in REAL baseball, maybe. overrated in THIS game, no way.

i've been playing this crap for 12 years and have seen it all. teams like yours winning a WS are a rarity. two in a row is unheard of.

I've been playing with high contact, high speed lineups for hundreds of seasons, and have won plenty of titles. It's not as rare as you think.

I especially enjoy watching teams loaded with red-letter power hitters come into my gigantic stadium and struggle to score runs without the benefit of HRs.

The season before last (2129) my club had even fewer HRs - 91 - and won the WS here.

The last two titles I've won in the Paul Waner League (one of the toughest) my teams had 75 and 105 HRs in those seasons.

There's more than one blueprint to construct a winning lineup in this game.
