Musial on a Tear

There have been three hitting streaks of 15 games or more in the early goings of ATB XI, with batters from Helena Handbasket owning two of them:

19 Games - Stan Musial
18 Games - Eddie Murray
15 Games - Jackie Robinson

Musial's is currently active and more importantly, extremely impressive. In 78 at bats, he's batting .410 / .440 / .603, with 3 HR, 4 2B, 3B, 13 R, and 19 RBI.

He'll have his work cut out for him tonight though, the next came for Handbasket is against the Downsouth Brews and their team ace, Whitey Ford. Ford, while sporting a losing record, has been very effective this year recording quality starts in 3 of his 4 appearances. His era is just 3.00 but most interesting, Ford is the only pitcher to keep Musial hitless this season - on opening day.
