Summary
The 2016 Silver League Season was one to remember. With a list of SL inactive GMs, the SL looked like the dullest league out of all of them. The Chicago Gold Sox, New Amsterdam Republics and Rocky Mountains bears all looked like they would be fighting for the odd-man out race to the PL. On May 7th, GM Ian took over the Nebraska Plainsman and moved them to San Diego. With a new approach, GM Ian took the defending ML winners to the top of the SL, making them the first team to earn back to back promotions. The Oceanliners finished the season at 74-34, 6 games ahead of the competition. This ended up winning them Organization of the Year. Meanwhile in Chicago, for 3/4 of the season the Gold Sox looked like they would return to the PL while they were in first place. They finished at a healthy second after California took over, but lost their second consecutive promotion game, and will have to play 2017 in the SL. Meanwhile, the Rocky Mountain Bears looked like they were out of it in July, almost 10 games out from 1st and all of the competition strong, coming out of their slump. Rocky Mountain grew to win 11 in a row, and captured 2nd in the race. This was followed by a short slump, but not enough to take them to 4th. The Bears beat the Gold Sox in their promotion game, and will make their second appearance in the PL in 2017. Meanwhile at the bottom half of the standings, Montreal looked like it was the last place victim of the SL. At around the 60 game mark, a new GM named Ross showed up in Montreal trying to get this team out of regulation. The Rivermen soon developed a spark and drove 2 hot streaks to get them into an easy 6th place. A giant flop was happening in Texas with Montreal flying up, which brought them from 5th to 8th. Fortunatly for them, they beat the easy 9th team, Norfolk. SC finished in 10th place with a 36-72 season.
