So does Virginia truly boast the best pitching staff that the BLB has ever seen?

Best staff that wasn't the commissioner by a MILE.

We have one player on that list, HOWEVER he did hit 30 HR's that year.

[Lintyfresh85]

The year before, that is.

If he actually had 30 HR's with 37 hits... that'd be amazing.

I was thinking the same thing but was too lazy to post anything. It appears that apathy has faded a bit since this post is decidedly less informative than my original one would have been, yet I feel compelled to reply.

Impressive, Cavadas.

[liquidcrash]

Yeah, 6'2 145 lbs?? Someone get that guy a sandwich.

As I look at it though, I have no idea where it's getting some of these numbers. It's got Hector Gonzalez and Roger Curling with 47 HRs each, and they've never done that. Some of the other numbers are off too, so I guess it's kind of useless.

[Delandis]

Maybe its through that entire weight.

Meaning it may compile home runs over consecutive years as long as they are at that weight.

[Gyrodork]

I never noticed his weight before. That's whacked. A 145 lb guy with a 7 power rating and 38 dingers; he's got to have a really low center of gravity.

He must be hung like Funclown.
