2088 Season Thread - Once upon a time in Hollywood

[qazhby]

Hollywood tickets going for $38 a pop right now and still selling out

[GeorgesGoons]

even more to my point, many teams don't have to worry about it.

It's because we are lax about it. No owner in real life would allow a GM to take his team to almost MINUS 100M dollars. Just wouldn't happen.

Especially with no results.....George would have been fired a long time ago IRL lol.

to be fair. In real life, a team that has been 1 win away from the WS a couple of times the past 4 years would be able to charge more than $28 a ticket.

Bro preach! That's what mine is at this year and that's the highest ever I've been able to sustain.

and then you have Hollywood who has lower fan loyalty than us and can charge $10 more a ticket. This is one of the biggest reasons I have cared less about finances in this game. I'll stick with having a good 5 year run and then take a decade to get finances and prospects in order for another 5 year run

nice trip to Prosper helps us close a disappointing season at .500

notable Spitters events in 2088

Don Hobbs broke the single season batting avg mark for a Spitter finishing at .368 (previous holder Lowell DeColigney, the ootp John Olerud at .360)
- Magerison finished 9th all time for a Spitter this year as well at .342

Hobbs broke all time doubles record in a season with 63 (previous holder Sam Webber who had 59 last year)

Yasunari Kobayashi broke the k/9 record for a season with 11.6 (previous holder was the great Rod Stewart with 11.2 in 2049)
- rookie John Powell finished 2nd all time in same category this season with 11.4

[Whittness10]

Current tally is 74 seasons out of 79 missing the playoffs, this year being 13 in a row. Good God I took over a horrific franchise.

I'm exported for wildcard round and am 90% positive we are good to go. Not sure what the rest status will be of my #2 pitcher for the second game. He is at 39% now, figures it goes up 30ish % each day so we shall see. Don't wait on me
