Lefty Grove and Bill Walker tie for the first shared Cy Young in EBL history. Walker takes the Pisces to their first EBL championship. Lefty sets the new standard for punchouts in a season. The honor is Walker's first. Grove adds his second trophy to the mantel, and figures this was just to make up for last year's snub. During his acceptance speech, Grove asks "Where's that punk Kremer now?"
