2011 REGULAR SEASON SIM 21 Complete - Next SIM THU 05/14
Joe Aurillo is a pitching coach in my organization. He is 51.
I miss him.
That 1983 Pale Ale season was so special.
22-1 record.
1.50 ERA.
219 strikeouts, only 29 walks, 4 home runs allowed in 204 innings.
That 1983 Freedom team makes me feel sad looking back.
We had Aurillo at his absolute best.
Desi Rochs had a career year, hitting .301 and OPSing .932, contributing 36 home runs, 94 RBI, 116 runs scored. I believe he is the only shortstop to win Stout Slugger.
Greg Josey was one of the best rookies that year. We had Doorbell, though he missed 40 games and was a year or two from hitting his prime.
We had the forgotten great Anibal Alsina, who hit .293 with 75 extra-base hits and produced outstanding defense in right field.
But that year was the last with two divisions and no Wild Cards, so we finished far behind Pat's 109-win Bats club, and that was that. No October baseball in Philadelphia.
