8th Place
In the early 50s
East Point was a premier team in the Tycobbian East... they were division champs in '50 and '52... even won 96 games in '51 and finished second to the terrific Hillsboro Blazers with 98 wins... the Panthers slipped slowly, but now have hit rock bottom - just 52 wins and a whopping 102 defeats - East Point is dead last in the TU East... the Panthers are gosh awful bad and they have the numbers to prove it with only 467 runs (32nd) and a .228 BA (31st)... the most productive batter is George Leach with a .240 BA, 18 HR and 79 RBIs... the mound corps is not bad... just average with a 4.03 ERA (16th)... Charley Clutterbuck and Marty Yaden are pretty good starters... with a so-so bullpen that is nothing to write home about.
East Point has one of the worst won-lost record in the IPA... 709 games below .500 in 62 seasons... a .462 winning percentage... Hillsboro is a little bit better at .473 winning percentage... the Panthers have made the playoffs only 7 times in history... never won a Pro Cup... but they came close, losing to Elnora in 7 games in 2033.
