Congrats!

Without a doubt this was the absolute best experience I've had playing a franchise mode in many many years. I'm motivated to continue and see if we can repeat, but I'm also thinking about perhaps re-starting a new file and seeing if I could get to the promise land faster.

I decided to continue and begin the 2031 season and defend our championship and look to become the 2nd franchise in the last 8 years to win back-to-back World Series titles.
