My LOL at this one almost woke up my wife while I was reading this in bed.

And... this has to be the best Chapter 4 pickup list ever....
At the Chapter Four semi-annual farm draft, the Salem Cowtippers added Trea Turner, Alex Bregman, Derek Fisher, Rafael Devers, Aaron Nola, and Julio Urias.

However in true Glander form, the only players to see playing time for the Cowtippers are Turner (702 PAs) and Devers (99 PAs). Imagine if you had adopted my homegrown philosophy Mike! Then I guess I wouldn't have given you that Tin Caps hat, huh? :P

The sad part is that I traded Bregman because I thought, "Well, Kris Bryant is going to be my third baseman for the next decade, so why do I need Bregman?"

:roll:

Yep, my Johnny Appleseed hat is well-earned, my friend.

The 20-year celebration continues with Game-Changing Decisions.

Bump? Just wondering if anyone can think of any "game-changing" decisions I missed. It seemed like most came from our first ten seasons.

You reversing your own trade was a super big deal at the time....

Both were definitely controversial, but I don't see either as a "game-changer." The controversial events are another article!

It forced me out of the playoffs that year, when I surely would have won it all.

And it was the beginning of the end for their GM.

Good points. I was thinking of more long-term game-changers, but that one definitely played a huge role in that particular season.

It's premature, but this inarguable bullshit rule change with the Wild Cards belongs. League ruiner.

What a fun read, nicely done.

I am glad to be controversy free for 20 years!
