Three Stooges Win the 2025 FML Title; First in 15 Years

The Three Stooges, managed by Bosko, Pete and Amanda Djurickovic, won the 2025 Fuzzy Memorial League championship with 80 points, 11 points ahead of second-place Patton’s High Velocity with 69 points.  For the Stooges, the title was their fifth overall (2000, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2025) but their first since winning in 2010.  The Stooges won only one offensive category (stolen bases) but took four pitching categories (wins, earned run average, ratio and strikeouts).  The Addison Lights finished third with 68 points, one point out of second place, and Karp’s High Ratios took fourth place with 63.5 points.  The defending-champion Shoeless Sandmen finished last and became only the third FML defending-champion team to finish last the next year.  Both the 1993 and the 2016 Karp’s High Ratios join the Sandmen on that ignominious list.

 

Cal Raleigh, Max Fried and Andres Munoz Top 2025 FML All-Stars

Patton’s High Velocity’s Cal Raleigh was named 2025 Fuzzy Memorial League “Most Valuable Player” with a .247 batting average, a remarkable 60 home runs as an everyday catcher, 125 RBI and an equally-markable 14 stolen bases.  Despite another stellar season, the Addison Lights’ Aaron Judge was the runner-up with a .331 mark, 53 home runs, 112 RBI and 12 stolen bases.

 

The Wa-Wa Two Sees’ Max Fried earned “Most Valuable Starting Pitcher” honors with a 19-5 record, a 2.86 earned run average and a 1.10 ratio.  In a close decision, Karp’s High Ratios’ closer Andres Munoz was named “Most Valuable Relief Pitcher” with a 3-3 record, 38 saves and 3-3, a 1.73 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP.  Equally as good was the Brew Jays’ Carlos Estevez with a 4-5 record, league-leading 42 saves, a 2.45 ERA and a 1.06 ratio.

 

“Rookie Position Player of the Year” honors was a no-brainer, with the Three Stooges’ Nick Kurts batting .290 with with 36 home runs and 86 RBI.  Kurtz was sent to the Shoeless Sandmen on the first day of the off-season as the major league player to be named in the June 23, 2025 Jose Altuve trade.

 

The Nordica Knucklers’ Jack Leiter was named “Rookie Starting Pitcher of the Year” with a 10-10 record, a 3.86 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP.  Click here for the complete all-star team.
