The 2007-2008 editions marks the 18th consecutive season for our Old Timers circuit. Players who suited up in the years 1969 to 1972 are our winter warriors for this off-season.
Last winter, Bill Johannessen (NL) and Danny Laflamme (AL) survived incredible playoff series (both league finals were tied 8-8 in games with the winner decided by runs scored). Erwin Hunke and the Eliot Kolers/Chris Cosgriffe combo were the hard luck losers.
Bill's Brooklyn Bombers captured the World Series. 16 teams competed.
