...and the 1985 regular season is history. Most races really came down to the wire in the last few weeks of the season. The Albuquerque Apaches and Boston Bulldogs each surged in the final few weeks, and were rewarded with the Paige and Tiant division crowns, respectively. The Topeka Stingers fought off a last minute Traffic effort to take the Gehrig pennant. The ToWiggins clinched their Aaron division pennant a while back, thanks to the CDBL's first triple crown winner. Pedro Guerro won the batting title, home run title and RBI title, putting up a .363/48/138 season. The Mashers and Traffic clinched their conference's wildcards, while the Albuquerque Stingrays held off the Elk Grove Trout to win the league wildcard. The Mountaineers put an end to their misery this season with game #162, and wound up with the #1 overall pick. Rumors have it they're going to waste it on some kid who may not even pan out. Greg Madics or something like that. The Irish, Gray's & Pineapples round out the top 4 spots. The Elk Grove Trout, by being the best team in the league not going to the post-season, find themselves with the #5 overall pick. Several records were broken this year (which was kind of expected, as this is only year #2!) Pedro Guerrero set records in AVG/OBA/SLG, RBI's, and homers. Vince Coleman set the new high water mark for steals with 88. Bret Saberhagen of the Phalanx set a new ERA record, with a tiny 2.14. The Destinies' John Tudor won 24 games. The Elk Grove Trout created a new standard in pitching excellence, with a miniscule 2.74 team ERA.
