Posted on November 20, 2025 by commish

Sunday, June 25th , 2051
After prolonged negotiations Erebor agreed to ship 25-year old LHP Oong-cheon Ansótegui and $10,360,000 in cash to Dol Guldur for 21-year old minor league RF Smarluk Ogredragger and 22-year old minor league LHP Primrose Headstrong. The deal is awaiting confirmation from the league office but neither team expects any hang-ups.

“It took longer than expected,” said one GM, “but we knew that the deal was going to happen.”

This year, Ansótegui has collected no saves in 11 relief appearances. He has also compiled a 6-1 won-lost mark with a 3.17 ERA and fanned 69 batters in 65.1 innings. Opponents are hitting him at a .226 clip in 2051.

The crowd roared — they knew they were seeing history — and Joel Elvàviel was delighted, too. The 37-year-old Uruk-hai shortstop was making history with his 500th career homer. The crowd buzzed and roared again when Elvàviel stuck his head out of the dugout for a curtain call.

“Never, as a kid, did I ever think I’d hit even one,” he told BNN after hitting No. 500 in a 18-0 victory over Numenor. Elvàviel went 4-for-6 in the game, had 5 runs batted in, and scored 4 runs.

Elvàviel has played in 2306 games with a .245 career batting average and 2041 hits. He has also scored 1428 runs and driven in 1293 runs with 501 home runs.
