Post Draft Tournament



Congratulations to Eight Men Smout for winning the 2008 Post-Draft Tournament.  The tournament featured a record 16 participants, some extra-inning games, and some great pitching performances.  Everyone can be at ease that the tournament winner has never won the World Series the same year.  Sorry Lee.
