Stat of the day

[Pat]

Wildfire, Yankees, Bootleggers, Mayhem...brings me back.

[Jistic]

Bootleggers? Damn now that's one I forgot.

[Clay]

That is a great name in this league's history.

Nice. Love that stat.

[Ryan]

Ah, Ray Provencia. Hope to see Rex Knight on that list someday.

[Z]

Pittsburgh RP Dustin Aitkenhead had a 2.25 ERA entering play on June 2. In his last 5 2/3 innings pitched since then, he has allowed 26 earned runs.

[Carlos]

Not a list you want to be on.
(I don't see anything in the code that should be causing this large block of white space. Oh well).

What's wrong with being on that list? There are catchers on it who didn't allow a stolen base.

Comedy. I sense it.

That list is horrible. Didn't even notice.

[Clay]

Stat of the Day was super lame today... so I made up my own.... BLB FUN FACT.

Without using the Utility to cheat... take a guess....

On the All-Time Hits List, how many Players from Inaugural Draft appear on the list of the Top Hit Collectors before you reach the first player that was from an Amateur Draft?

Answer:

Spoiler

68 -- The #69 Player on the List and #1 amongst players that entered the BLB via Amateur Draft - Danny Nelson of the Virginia Colonials. Mel Woodbury is the 2nd highest and John Gorrie 3rd amongst those entering through the draft.

[Jim]

To avoid any suspense, here's today's:

Teams To Sweep The End Of Season Awards
(Win Outstanding Hitter Award, Outstanding Pitcher Award, and Newcomer of the Year Award) No team has won all three awards in the same season

[Andrew]

Mel Woodbury would be my guess. I think he was the #1 overall pick in the 1978 draft. He's been hurt a lot though so maybe not.

[Lintyfresh85]

To avoid any suspense, here's today's:

Teams To Sweep The End Of Season Awards
(Win Outstanding Hitter Award, Outstanding Pitcher Award, and Newcomer of the Year Award) No team has won all three awards in the same season

I won Outstanding Hitter and Outstanding Pitcher last year but didn't get the Newcomer award.

BTW... I know we've talked about this... but is there any way to edit the game as to who won the awards?

I know the game selects its own players for the awards... but for each award a player wins, his popularity goes up and that means more revenue for the team.

Edit: As for Clay's stat of the day... I certainly would not have expected the first amateur player to appear on the list to be

Spoiler

Danny Nelson

[Clay]

I think I was more suprised by the Number of players higher on the list.
