Around The League

Spent some time with the trilogy program tonight, here's what I found

• In a 3-2 win over the Mechanics on April 11, the All Stars Hanley Ramirez went 0-4 with 3 caught steals
• On April 10 Albert Pujols of the Red Lectroids recorded 13 total bases; on May 3 Ken Griffey Jr (Shadows) repeated the feat
• Only 9 players have score 4 runs in a game so far, Spanish Harlem's Oscar Charleston's done it twice.
• The season record for total chances in a game is 26.  It was set on May 2, twice, in the same game, by opposing first basemen George Sisler and Todd Helton (Beau Brummels and Hoplites).
• Workhorse of the year (so far) goes to Hal Newhouser (Rochester).  He threw 150 pitches on April 9 an it was only 7.1 innings..
• Mike Schmidt (Bears) homered in 5 consecutive games April 29-May 4
• Ken Griffey Jr (Shadows) score runs in 11 consecutive (May 7-May 18)
• Oddball stat of the day - the Wildlings are 16-1 when Joe Jackson gets a hit, and 9-23 when he doesn't.
• It's mostly a meaningless stat, but Turkey Stearnes (Red Eagles) leads the league in Game Winning RBI's at 10.
• In 22 games, batters are cumulatively hitting just .216 in the Bee Hive (Otherton).
• In 20 games, batters have mashed 76 HR's in the Baker Bowl (Rusty Kuntz)
• On May 10, Handbasket came from 10 runs back to beat the Lancaster 13-12.  They scored 9 runs in the 8th thanks to 3 homers, capped by a Willie McCovey grand slam.
• The Red Eagles have scored 37 first inning runs, the "Mechanics" just 12
• The Blackbirds have allowed 41 first inning runs, the Wildlings just 10
• The Shadows and Red Eagles are the only teams yet to be shut-out
