Greenhorn Wins the All Star Game

The DC Chips and Sonoran Black Diamonds are battling it out in the Greenhorn Division, and perhaps it's fitting their two stars dominated the all star game in such a way, leaving many to wonder why the rest of the roster was even needed.

The Black Diamonds Barry Bonds drove in all 4 of the Greenhorn runners on a solo blast in the 4th and a bases clearing double in the 5th. The Chips Garland Braxton held the Mossbackers to 4 hits and no earned runs in 6 innings of work, earning the 4-2 win.

Mort Cooper of John McDonald Fanclub picked up the loss, going 4 2/3 yielding 5 hits, 3 walks and 4 earned runs.

Bill Dickey (Bostons Terrier) and Stan Musial (Oathbinders) had two hits a piece, while both relief corps pitched extremely well.

For kicks, I put both these squads in an alternate universe and simmed 162 games. It shed no light as to which division is better - their records were exactly 81-81.

Here is the box score for the All Star Game.
