IFB 2010 Season: The Final Numbers

An exciting regular season in the first year of the Illinois Fantasy Baseball League came to a close last evening.  16 teams competed to see who would be the best of the best, with 8 of them now fighting for the title in the playoffs.  Some teams showed utter dominance in their divisions and the league, while other teams could not seem to get it going.  And now this season wrap-up blog post will take a look at some of the final numbers from 2010.

First, the final overall standings:

1. Sparland Hilltoppers (165-79-20)
2. BooBooCubs (144-102-18)

4. BJ Penn (140-109-15)
5. Ferris Indians (132-108-24)
