The Taranto Tars (61-93) are just a bad team... for the third successive season Denny Radke's club ended up in the Ruthlandian North cellar... it's been almost 15 years since the Tars made the Pro Cup playoffs... the only bright spot on the entire team was All-Star RF Pasquale Zavaglia, who topped the IPA with 49 homers, drove in 102 runs and batted a solid .287... he had to carry all of the team's offensive load with almost no help at all... at age 30 Zavaglia finally got his opportunity to play in the IPA this year after spending parts of 4 seasons with the team in the 20s with little playing time... Paulie Pieroni (14-19) and Johnny Sakelaris (5-9) were the only dependable hurlers.
