California Kodiaks – All-Time Last 30 Years Team
It was exactly 30 seasons ago, that a young, naïve PaulECee was invited into the league by another young GM, named Hank. His first act as GM was to draft Garrek Finn with the 8th overall pick. Finn went on to produce a glorious 6.1 WAR in six rather unforgettable seasons.
After early success and drafting one of the game’s premier players, the Kodiaks were an absolute dumpster fire for the better part of the first 20 years under PaulECee. The last ten years have shown a resurgence of the proud Kodiak brand, featuring a wire-to-wire title in 2036, and an improbable run to a second title In 2043! We take a look back at the best California has had to offer over the last 30 seasons!
