6th Place (tied): South Fork Stallions (70-84) (16.5 GB)
Last Year: (63-91) (38 GB) (8th Place)
Two Years Ago: (72-82) (26 GB) (5th Place)
Last Postseason: 2043 (2 Pro Cups - 2025, 2042) (6 Pennants)
Eldon Jacoby was fired at the end of this season and replaced by Big Murph McAlister, who toiled for 15 seasons for the Stallions, finishing up with a 162-180 mark and a 3.70 ERA... he retired in '51... South Fork has a pretty fair pitching staff, but not a lot of offense... Jacoby had two good seasons... winding up third in '53 and '54.
Team Stats: .252 BA (27th), 617 runs (28th), 147 HR (19th), 3.76 ERA (14th), .978 FA (average)
Top Players: Emmett Coogan is a solid number-one starter... second in the rotation is a fairly good Sam Black... and rookie Herm McClanahan did a fine job as the closer in his rookie season... South Fork needs some hosses on the hill and also at the plate to move up in the Tycobbian East... All-Star outfielder Bob Purkey is a bonafide bat and gets some help from Rudi Eberhardt, Rudy Maroney and Rudy Gatlin.
