- Announcing the 2018 Season Library! - 3 December 2018
Announcing the 2018 Season Library! On the surface, the 2018 season was all about the Boston Red Sox who finished the regular season with a record of 108-54. Only 8 teams have finished with more than 108 wins in MLB history. However, there is more to the 2018 story than Boston's domination. Oakland's 97 win season, the Brewer's division title, and the Braves early and surprising return to contention are just a few of the things that make the 2018 season magical. The 2018 Season Library is free for owners of Digital Diamond Baseball and it contains player rosters (1,678 players), as-played lineups (4,862 lineups), real-life transactions (5,386 transactions), custom player ratings (range, run, arm, hold), left/right batting and pitching splits, and color images for all 30 ballparks.

The 1972 season is now available for free for Digital Diamond Baseball. Replay the last season in history that did not use the DH. In 1972, cancelled games caused by a player strike allowed the Tigers to play one more game than the Red Sox. As a result, Detroit ended up winning the division over Boston by just 1/2 games. However, Detroit did not go much further as the Athletics advanced to the World Series and eventually defeated the Reds 4 games to 3. This season features MVP winners Dick Allen and Johnny Bench, and Cy Young winners Gaylord Perry and Steve Carlton. Carlton lead the league in Wins (27) even though his team(PHI) only won 59 games!
