October 9, 2006 CBA Celebrates 25th Anniversary
 The Cosmic Baseball Association celebrates its 25th anniversary today. Twenty-five years ago in Los Angeles, California the CBA was founded by a small group of friends living and breathing the left coast's air as a professional association of baseball players, owners, and administrators worked through a labor crisis that prevented the playing of professional "major league" baseball. The formation of the Cosmic Baseball Association had several inspirations. The baseball board game called "Stratomatic" and its "no name" cards were inspirational as was Robert Coover's novel, The Universal Baseball Association, J. Henry Waugh, Proprietor. Jack Kerouac's "imaginary baseball league referenced as the "Summer Game" in several of his novels and notebooks was also a source of great inspiration to the original members of the Cosmic Baseball Association.

2006 Season Ends: BEATS WIN PENNANT
The Dharma Beats (91-71) spent most of the regular season in first place. They now sit atop the other three teams in the dramatically constricted regular CBA playing league. Nevertheless, first is first in any book and the Beats will have the honor of competing in the Cosmic Universal Series (CUS) scheduled to begin on Thanksgiving Day (November 23). The opponents will be the second place team in the league, the venerable Paradise Pisces (80-82). The Pisces represent the first cosmic baseball team to make it to the CUS with a below .500 winning percentage. That's right, the Pisces get to the big series while accumulating a losing record. Another reason the CBA's board of directors needs to seriously reconsider decontraction.
Final 2006 Standings
Despite his political woes, George W. Bush had an outstanding season at the plate for the Washington Presidents. The right fielder led the league in batting average (.347). President and outfielder Ulysses S. Grant led all batters with his mark of 66 home runs. Beat pitcher Jack Micheline led the league in innings pitched (280.7) and most wins (17). Compiling a 17-9 won-loss record puts Micheline on the favorites list to be this season's Most Cosmic Pitcher.
