I wasn't originally going to do a separate thread for 1995, but since I already have the sims completed over at All-Time Sports, I didn't want them tp go to waste.
A reminder: Even though the dates on these sims are April, we'll be starting with the records and stats that players and teams have already complied. That's why you'll see magic numbers to clinch division titles (and in one case, a clinched division) in April.

Just like in 1994, I'll do the National League first, then the American League.
Next: We kick off the National League with a Sunday night clash between the Mets and the Marlins.
