AWARDS
We were shut out of all awards this year. Of note is that Gregory "Goldilocks" Caulder won his fifth Cy Young Award, all with South Cobb. He was 23-6 with a 2.02 ERA and 292 K's for the year.
THOUGHTS
We continued to improve, and several youngsters made progress. However, we failed to draw 2 million fans for the second consecutive year. We're going to need to start putting some butts in the seats if we ever want to sign any quality FA's.
