File and pages are up. Next sim is Saturday morning, an 8-day sim to get us to 9/16/1976; get your exports in by 8:00 AM Eastern.
40-Man Rosters are in effect. Playoff teams (which is most of the league), be aware not to let your starters start #41! 40 is OK, 41 NOT SO MUCH.
Waiver Trade Deadline is at the end of the regular season.
Just to recap, we have Jeff running the Giants, Brian is back to take over the Braves next season and I would like to announce Tyrone is back to take over the Expos. Welcome back!
I have owners waiting in the wings for the Phillies and Dodgers next season, so we are FULL. If Spencer or any really active owner wants to come here, I'm willing to step down from running Yankees and simply run the league.

Wednesday 9/7/1976: Larry Bearnarth turns in great performance against Cleveland
CLEVELAND - Detroit's right-hander Larry Bearnarth is clearly one of the best pitchers in the game. Cleveland found out the hard way, getting just 2 hits. Bearnarth 6th shutout this season was a masterpiece, as he was almost untouchable. He has now hurled 46th shutouts in his career. Bearnarth (21-6) struck out 3 and walked 5, throwing 64 of 115 pitches for strikes. 'Well, the ball went where I wanted it. I was able to hit the corners with all of my pitches.' Detroit's third baseman Jim Woods stroked 2 hits in 5 AB, homering once. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Bearnarth. Detroit improved its record to 84-54, scoring 6 runs on 8 hits.

Friday 9/2/1976: Philadelphia's Rick Monday goes deep three times
