RL Slick Fielder Award Winners Announced
Thursday, November 4th, 2117
What does it take to win a Slick Fielder Award? It's a combination of good hands, knowing how to play the hitters, all-out hustle and a willingness to sacrifice your body to make a play. Good speed and a good arm never hurt, either, but not always required. This year's all-defense team in the Republic League consists of:

Pitcher: Jason Coleman (Ann Arbor Wolverines)
Catcher: Pat Johnson (Las Vegas Wildcats)
First Baseman: Alfredo Fuentes (Spring Lions)
Second Baseman: John Maxwell (Spring Lions)
Third Baseman: Bernardo Suárez (Waikiki Beach Boys)
Shortstop: Domingo Jaimes (Portland Axemen)
Left Fielder: Jaime García (Portland Axemen)
Center Fielder: Willie Adkins (Ann Arbor Wolverines)
Right Fielder: Ryan Hairston (Las Vegas Wildcats)

Yamashita #1 Rookie This Year
Friday, November 5th, 2117
He was a "talented and gifted ballplayer."

Kiyotaka Yamashita came on the scene this year and quickly established himself as player to be reckoned with.

The 23-year-old Terriers newcomer took the trophy by hitting .303 in 161 games this season and finished with 177 hits, 10 home runs, 61 RBIs and 85 runs scored.

The Mauro Morales Award for 2117 has been presented and the Continental League winner is Larry Fraser of Washington.

Someone remind me. Was it in FOOLX we raised the cap to $72.5 M? I don't seem to have any cap room, but I am close to $65 M.So if we didn't change, that's about right. But if we did change, I am wondering why it seems to be back to $65 M.

No cap was changed at all. Total revenue was what we were working on.
