The Turon Typhoons (75-79) are the most successful franchise in IPA history with 13 postseason appearances and 4 Pro Cups... but it's been 13 years since the last pennant... most of those seasons the Typhoons swooned in the second division of the TU South... this year manager Alan Hansen brought them in fifth, 17 games out of first place... Turon can score runs, but they can't stop the opposition very well... and they are the worst team in the IPA with a very poor .966 FA... Hansen has a few good batsmen like 3B Michael Page (.311), who hammered 26 HRs and batted in 96 runs... SS Fred Bird (.314), who stole 32 bases and scored 74 runs... and LF Edwin Asher (.290), who stole 25 bases and scored 80 times... rookie Wes Brynnton (14-13) did very well with a 2.92 ERA... other reliable arms were Emile Papajohn (14-13) and vet Victor Stravinsky (16-12).
