Islandian Pro Alliance Fifth All-Decade Team (2041-2050)

SS: Ken Jensen (2040-2053)
The decade's top shortstop is still active at age 33... Ken Jensen has sparked his Valmara Vipers to 9 pennants and 3 Gold Cup trophies ('43, '49, '50)... he's a 2-time Ruthlandian All-Star... 4-time Golden Glover... and a good, solid bat... his career BA is .304 with 91 homers, 733 RBIs and 1097 runs scored... Jensen has stolen 291 bases... has played well in the postseason appearing in 103 games, batted .294 with 132 hits, 5 homers, 39 RBIs, 67 runs and 40 stolen bases.

Jensen was selected in the All-Decade poll because of the success of the Valmara Vipers in the playoffs... second in the voting was LaGrange's fine shortstop John Rodgers (2038-2053)... 5-times Ruthlandian All-Star... 3-time Golden Glove... but his club never made the playoffs... lifetime Rodgers batted .292 with 330 HRS, 1289 RBIs and 1284 runs scored... still playing very well at age 36.

Number three in the shortstop rankings is Sam Essex of the La Claire Lynx (2039-2053), who retired this year at age 34... in his career he was a 4-time Tycobbian All-Star... Golden Glover... but rarely made the postseason... appearing only one time in his last year of play as backup infielder and pinchhitter... Essex got his one and only Pro Cup ring this season when La Claire copped the IPA crown... in 5 games he hit .600 with 2 RBIs and 2 runs scored... for his career Essex hit .268 with 360 home runs, 1234 RBI and scored 976 runs.
