| Breaking News | | Sunday, September 27th, 1936: Independence League News: The Offseason Begins
Wait until next year!
That is the battle cry for the fans of all but one IND team. While the 1936 champs get to brag to their buddies about the championship, it's time for general managers to rehash last year and figure out ways to improve their teams. It is the offseason in baseball. The diamonds and the stadiums are void of activity, but the front offices are bristling with energy. Good teams want to stay good -- bad teams want to get good -- and all teams want to get better.
So get ready for the ecstasy of a superstar savior's signing, the joy of re-signing a valuable performer, but also the heartbreak of losing a bidding war or saying farewell to that retiring vet. Nothing is happening on the field, but off the field, the offseason is rarely dull.
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.

You could hear the cheering all over New York as the Lincoln Giants secured the final out of a 5-2 win over the House of David to capture the 1936 Independence League Freedom Series 4-0. It was the 2nd time in the team's history to win it.
"The of David are a good ballclub," said the winning skipper, "We had to play at our best to beat them."
"Anytime you make big plays, it changes the momentum of the game," the losing manager said. "The Lincoln Giants made 'em and we didn't -- end of story."
During the season the new champs compiled a 111-43 record in the East and finished in first place in the standings.
