I've noticed a LOT of GMs love to Trade almost as much as they like to compete, especially Beginners. This league was created for THEM!

2013 -- There was much consternation that this league was created as a Weekly League. Rightfully so, it was a mistake on my part. I promised I would correct the situation next year.
Regular Season Finish: 1. Glassbreakers (Commish) 2. Hammer Time 3. Texas Beast 4. Wayne Tribe 5. Pass the Premo 6. Chi Town 7. Nacho Average Guy 8. Mountain City Lions 9. Snoknockers 10. Painted Warriors 11. Big Balls N Cow Town 12. Bevos 13. Huh 14. Crosborne 15. Thank God for Atheism 16. The Fog
Championship Playoff Finish: 1. Hammer Time 2. Chi Town 3. Wayne Tribe 4. Glassbreakers 5. Texas Beasts 6. Nacho Average Guy 7. Mountain City Lions 8. Pass the Premo
GST was once again blessed by its inaugural group of GMs. Some were past GMs revisiting, some were Amateurs coming up through the system, other just brand new. It was a FINE collection and we had a great season! The Lowest Win% was .438 and the next was .451 -- so you can see it was a HIGHLY COMPETITIVE group! I took the Regular Season Championship, but in the Playoffs these guys showed me Who's BOSS!

2014 -- The GMs showed me how Loyal they were by returning in droves. This drove the League Size larger. Not only that but they quickly expanded throughout GST, some becoming GST Regulars right before my eyes!
Regular Season Finish: 1. Goof Troop 2. Big Balls N Cow Town 3. Mr. Mets Squad 4. Bevos 5. Wayne Tribe 6. Homeruns Trader 7. Houston Castros 8. Pass the Premo 9. Crosborne 10. Mountain City Lions 11. Glassbreakers (Commish) 12. Snoknockers 13. Huh 14. Spin Doctors 15. Chi Town 16. Texas Beast 17. Go Bucks 18. DonYanks23
Championship Playoff Finish: 1. Pass the Premo 2. Homeruns Trader 3. Wayne Tribe 4. Big Balls N Cow Town 5. Mr. Mets Squad 6. Goof Troop 7. Bevos 8. Houston Castros
Homeruns Trader had a chance to do something that isn't done very often at all in GST, win Back-Back League Championships, but Pass the Premo won the Championship in a Tight Contest! The competition in the Regular Season was Extremely Tight, going down to the Very Last Week! The 2nd Lowest Win% was .450, in an 18 team league, so you can see for yourself just how TIGHT the league was! It doesn't happen very often, but a few of the guys simply AMAZED me! Because they refused to trade, they were locked from making Additions to their team. They just kept right on competing, even one of them making the playoffs!! For this reason I am going to implement a Small Rule Change next year (no, not one to keep GMs from HAVING to trade).

2015 -- We only got 1 or 2 GST Regulars, but there were plenty of Up and Comers, and with the League Loyalty, this league had no problems filling up and getting paid up this year! I could tell we had a darn good league ready and raring to go by Draft Time! Also it seemed like Bombing was a Good Thing!
Regular Season Finish: 1. Grand Theft Votto 2. Green Monster 3. Irish I Win 4. Goof Troop 5. Israeli Bombers 6. Big Ball N Cow Town 7. Jagerbombs 8. Homerun Trader 9. Bevos 10. Bonds Bombsquad 11. Snoknockers 12. Chi-Town 13. Glassbreakers (Commish) 14. Eville Elite 15. Mr. Mets Squad 16. DC Cubs 17. Texas Beasts 18. It Smells Like Trout
Championship Playoff Finish: 1. Grand Theft Votto 2. Irish I Win 3. Goof Troop 4. Jagerbombs 5. Israeli Bombers 6. Homeruns Trader 7. Green Monster 8. Big Balls N Cow Town
GTV did something you NEVER SEE, he Took Over an unresponsive team and took it to the Regular Season and League Championship both! I can definitely tell you he's Good Enough to do that, oh he's DEFINITELY good enough to do that -- and he had a Season of Seasons this year! However, it goes also to prove sometimes that Team Ownership is THE Telling Part. Basically, the Cream WILL Rise to the Top! That's not to say this league wasn't Competitive! NOTHING was Settled until the Finish Line finished it! To Prove my Point, let me say there were ELEVEN Teams above .500 at Season's End!! The Playoffs were Tough too! GTV's Finals Winning 13-9 was the Farthest Spread of the Final Week Matchups!
High Win%: .570 Low Win%: .363
