Stat of the day

[Clay]

And.... Shannon's. He was literally percentage points away from the first ever Triple Crown season in BLB history.

Great season. No doubt. But I think he falls short of being in the conversation of the best ever. Less than 100 runs. His K/BB were almost dead even. Less than 80 walks. One steal attempt (caught).

I'd say a Top 10 season... but I'm not sure it even makes the Top 5.

That being said, he wins the Triple Crown and it's obviously the most unique accomplishment.

Re: Stat of the day

Jose Guzman's effort in '88 earned him all of 1 3rd place vote in the DL Stout Slugger race.

That would be me. I thought he was going to get a couple more though.

Bleh, product of the times.

Look at the bright side: no team with 5 playoff appearances has not won a BLB championship. Go 1989!

Bummer.

I was just reading back through this thread, and I'll be interested to see if this cycle is broken. It would be a stretch for Woodbury to win a Glove Wizard, but not impossible.

It's pretty nuts to see teams with 70+ wins on that list.

That's what happens when you play in a division with Maine.

Just making on the list is Oscar Paulet...man I had high hopes for him after he hit 14 homers in 57 games as a rookie.
