| Breaking News | | Thursday, October 1st, 1936: American Association News: The Offseason Begins
It was the best of times in the just-finished AA season. It is now the offseason in baseball. While the annual awards will be announced shortly, for many fans and some players, this is the worst of times. An old-time player was once asked what he did in the offseason. He replied, "Mostly, I just stand at the window and stare and wait for the new season."
Many fans feel that way, too.
The feeling is certainly different in AA front offices, though. For those men and women, the offseason is a hectic time of roster evaluations, analysis and change. Who will re-sign? What players will we go after? Where should we send our scouts? Who will be hanging up his spikes? Each club's success for next year and beyond will be largely determined by the wheelin' and dealin' that transpires over the next several months.
You may now manually select the league award winners, the option is available in the league menu. If you want the AI to select the awards, simply ignore the option.
