So I forgot to mention this in the post above. Last sim, Ryan Turner threw a no-hitter!

"Why is this so amazing?" you might ask. Let me give you a little background here.

Turner was one of the best pitchers ever in the NPBL. He won 20 games in 5 straight seasons and had a total of 268 at age 34 when he had a Torn Ligament in his elbow. It was a career ending injury which forced him to retire after the 2016 season.

Then this preseason, low and behold, we all get mail notifying us that "Nuke" Turner is coming back to play. He took four years to recover, and now is back (the first player in the NPBL to unretire) with pretty much the same ratings.

So, basically, this guy took four years off and then comes back and throws the first no-hitter of his career at age 39.
