Before changing their name in 1996, BatBold was known as Mr. Baseball...this was the first year any team that drafted Bonds captured the championship...the final Fehrless Report newsletter was printed and mailed out in October 1997 (the headline read, "BatBold Ends Oriole's Reign")...the O'Men led for 12 of the season's 26 weeks, but never again after week 17.
