Five other ballplayers challenged for the left field spot on the 50th Anniversary All-Stars... but it hard to beat out the all-time leading hitter, who posted a phenomenal .350 career average.

LF Quincy Peterson (2001-2021)
Runner-up to Kazmarek for the left field slot was Quincy Peterson, a standout outfielder as well as being one of the better hitters in the annals of IPA baseball. He played mainly for LaGrange and Elnora with a one-year stay in Belle Plaine, all in the Ruthlandian Union. Peterson was inducted into the Islandian Pro Alliance Hall of Fame in 2027... he was chosen the best left fielder on the First Decade Team.

Peterson was honored 6 times as an All-Star and gathered in 4 Golden Glove Awards. He participated in 5 Pro Cup playoffs in his career and was on 3 pennant winners. However, he never got a Pro Cup ring. Peterson retired at the age of 44 with a .294 career batting average. He mainly played left field, participated in 3087 games (16th), rang up 3514 hits (11th), 589 doubles (16th), 565 home runs (18th), scored 2029 runs (10th) and batted in 1956 runs (11th). Peterson was even tougher in the postseason, batting .343 with 13 homers, 38 RBIs and scoring 30 runs in only 41 games.

LF Rocco Belasario (2005-2026)
Finishing third in the voting for the best all-time left fielder was Arlon's fabulous center fielder Rocco Belasario, one of the best player ever in the IPA. In a career spanning 3023 games, Belasario batted .301 with 3076 hits, 508 home runs, 1658 RBIs, 2116 runs scored and 1840 walks. He is 8th in walks all-time, 5th in runs scored, 18th in games played and number one in stolen bases. Belasario was selected as the top left fielder on the Second Decade All-Time Team.

For most of his career Belasario played in obscurity, but brilliantly. Arlon went to the postseason only 3 times and never come close to winning the Pro Cup in his tenure. But Belasario excelled with 9 All-Star selections and 5 Golden Gloves. The swift Belasario holds the all-time IPA mark for stolen bases with 1023, almost 200 better than second place Jet Kazmarek. 7 times Belasario led the Tycobbian Union in thefts. In limited postseason action he hit .263 with an impressive on-base percentage of .404, 2 homers, 6 RBIs and scored 15 runs in 23 games, while stealing 11 bases.

Belasario was 40, when he retired. He played 19 seasons with Arlon and 22 years in the league. The gifted outfielder gained entrance into the Islandian Pro Alliance Hall of Fame in 2027.

LF Zeppy Deshotel (2005-2022)
The number-four ranked left fielder was Zeppy Deshotel of the La Claire Lynx... he was a 9-time All-Star, but never played in the playoffs... he performed in obscurity most of the time... a gifted hitter and just adequate as an outfielder... Deshotel posted a .312 career batting average with 3121 hits, 469 home runs, 1699 RBIs, 1744 runs scored and stole 510 bases... in 2029 Deshotel made the IPA Hall of Fame.

LF Adam Thurgood (2033-2048)
Fifth in the voting for the 50th Anniversary All-Stars was North Hills' tremendous outfielder Adam Thurgood, a 9-time All-Star that led the Hawks to 4 Pro Cup championships and 11 pennants... he batted .311 in his career, collected 2860 hits, 506 HRs, 1613 RBI and scored 1338 runs...

Winding up sixth in the poll for the best IPA All-Time left fielder was Rikki Van Dalen, who played 13 of his 17 seasons in Cape Coral and appeared only one time in the postseason, but he was still a very fine hitter with a lifetime .316 BA, 2770 hits, 405 HRs, 1380 RBIs, 1547 runs and 236 SBs...
