Sim's Done! Welcome to 2024!

The sim is done and the calendar has turned.  The game date is 1/1/2024.

With the passing of another year, we have the annual wave of retirements.  Some notable names to hang 'em up for good are:

• P Marcus Santoro - 43-55, 5.15
• P Pedro Ramos  - 1107G, 310 SV, 3.74 ERA
• P John Okane - 277-170, 3.51, 3419K, 137 ERA+
• P Robert Brown - 472G, 3.89 ERA

I believe (and Mack, please correct me if I'm wrong) that Okane was the last active player from our initial 50-round draft in 2002.  Based on the automatic enshirnement criteria of the game, Okane misses the Hall of Fame by just a smidgen (the ERA of 3.51 is just outside the criteria 3.50 or less). 

Hmmmm.....

Signings:
Shackamaxon signed P Bill Dewall (Brooklyn) to a 2 yr/ $5m contract.

Next sim:  Monday night.
