Quick Season Wrapup

Here's a bunch of guys who used to be Braves, and also Brian McCann.
Congrats to Henry and his Rookies for winning the head-to-head championship! The Rookies held off a furious last-day comeback by Hassey's Girl to capture the championship with a score of 360.3-343.2.

In one of the closest finishes in FBLG history, Ray and Clemente's Bucs held on for the overall points title, winning by a mere 12 points over Henry's Rookies.

Thank you all for another fantastic season - everything came right down to the wire. I'll be sending emails to those of you who either owe money or have a reward coming your way.

1. Clemente's Bucs 4799.9
2. The Rookies 4787.2
3. Hassey's Girl 4655.4
4. Yari's Autonomics 4618.8
5. When the Ledee Breaks 4597.3
