League Standings: Final 1999
Week #27(04-Oct-99)

HEADLINES   LEAGUE
Chiefs hold on and finish the campaign with a 7 1/2 point victory over a 3-horse field which surprisingly finds the Duckbills dropped to 4th!! Absolutely awful hitting week drops the Duckies 2 1/2 points from last week while the Brewsers and E-Bills gained 2 1/2 and 2 points respectively.

Moses break the 5th place tie from last week by gaining 3 points while the Francks lose 2 points. Both finish strong at the plate with 11 homers, but the Moses' 2 homers in the NYM-CIN playoff and a dominating pitching week combined with a poor showing by Franck's starting pitchers in the final week make the final difference. Consolation prize for the Moses, 1 more protect for next year for the Francks.

League records set this year:

  • Most runs scored: 1084 Moses (1995 Brewsers strike-adjusted 1038)
  • Most strikeouts: 1278 Connection (1995 E-Bills strike-adjusted 1276)
  • Fewest saves: 1 Francks (1994 Perots 2)
  • Worst ERA: 4.95 Mashers (1997 Krushers 4.82)
  • Fewest strikeouts: 737 Newtons (1994 Kochs strike-adjusted 761)
Notable:
  • Chiefs first finish ever above 3rd place (1995)
  • Brewsers return to the money for 5th time in 7 years
  • E-Bills first time in money since winning back-to-back in 1993-1994
  • 1-2-3 finish for the 3 remaining original franchises
  • Maulers 3rd straight bottom-3 finish
  • Now that E-Bills cashed, Maulers and Francks have longest out-of-money streak (3 years)
  • Newtons break streak of 3 straight years in the money, scoring their only finish below 6th
  • The Mashers also set league highs in Homers and RBI, but not records, accounting for strike-shortened totals in 1994.
  • "Best worsts" were set this year in Average and Homers
  • As you can probably tell, league-records and league-history web pages are on their way shortly...
