Congratulations to John Lamanna's Goldenrod Gators

When John Lamanna literally took over an open team midway through the draft in February, he couldn't have seriously imagined he would win the league nine months later. His Goldenrod Gators snuck into the playoffs as the last wild seed. They cruised past the No. 1 seed Northeast Huskies in five games in the first round, then swept the No. 5 seed St. Louis Maulers in the semi finals. That set up an unlikely matchup of 7 vs 8 seed in the World Series, when the Gators took on the Mohawk Valley Jive. After falling behind two games to one, Goldenrod took three straight to capture the crown. Congrats, John, on an unlikely and amazing season.
