Franchise History- In the Fade to Black we have another of the originally owned franchises. The Up-staters had trouble finding success at first, not recording their first winning year until Season 5. Things have gotten better since. In season 6, they won the NL East and advanced to the NLCS where they were defeated by the San Francisco Zodiac 4 games to 1. Season 7 found similar success; the Black won the division again but only made it to the Divisional Round where they were defeated again by the San Francisco Zodiac, 3 games to 1.
Franchise Outlook- Things aren’t looking to good for the Fade to Black these days. Their owner, longdayintro, who has cultivated this franchise from a laughing stock into a contender over the past seven seasons has been missing since July 14th. His picture can be seen on the side of Byrne Dairy milk cartons on breakfast tables all over the Syracuse area and police haven’t given up on the search. The writers at GSPN magazine send our condolences to the family and the players and sincerely hope nothing bad has befallen him. His absence has been catastrophic for the team; top player J.P. Marichal was lost in the Rule 5 draft due to his lack of protection. Spring Training has also been all but wasted due to the lack of leadership in Syracuse. This is a ship without a captain. Unless longdayintro is found, the fans of Syracuse may never see that World Series Trophy they have been dreaming about. They know all too well if the team is taken over by another owner, the chances of their beloved Fade to Black staying in Syracuse is slim to none.
