A razor thin margin.

Have you ever had a close finish in your league?  How close is close?  My 2009 championship  in the NOLA FBA (a longstanding league I am commissioner of) was the closest that I have ever seen or heard of.  It literally came down to the afternoon games on the last day of the MLB season.  No kidding, it sounds like a joke but it is the truth.  I would have never dreamed that after 6 months of baseball stats, 2 teams' championship aspirations rested on a couple of home runs and a couple of stolen bases. On my team Jayson Werth stole 2 bases on the last day, Ryan Braun one.  Another team hit a couple of HR's, thus not allowing my competition to gain any ground on me.  And that was that.  A margin of victory of 2.5 points.  My first championship after 20+ grueling years of 2nd place finishes, injury riddled teams, and admittedly at times lackluster judgment/performance on my part.  I sweated the next few nights thinking that Yahoo would make some sort of stat correction that would continue my long frustration of non-championship seasons.  Thankfully, the corrections never came, the scores stood as posted, and the hardware was mine for a year.

I would be interested to hear if anyone has had it come down to the last day or something like that.  FYI, this was a 5x5, 10 team league.  If you have, please comment below or send me an email: therotocommish@gmail.com.  Thanks!
