From left to right in the outfield, we have Willie Stargell, Andy Van Slyke, and Roberto Clemente. Brian Giles will be swinging the bat at DH.
"We still have a few pitchers to replace," whispered owner William W. Connors. "But don't tell Roy Halliday that...he's our best pitcher."
As of this writing, Salem is at 22-11 (.667), 1.5 games behind the steroid-pumped Van Buren Pointers in the American Conference Western Division of the B222 league.
In honor of this accomplishment, fans are invited to purchase a special reduced-price 13-ticket pack and discover why we say: "Salem Witches Baseball - It's one hell of a good time!"

Mazeroski's homer in 1960 was my first indelible baseball memory (I was 7). Wish I was in iron so I could look over your roster. Well, I'll still be in bronze when you get back.
