In a come-from-behind one-run victory over the Charlotte Sting on Friday night, the lone remaining original Brewer, veteran second baseman Bobby Erbakan, collected 4 hits, not only helping to lead his team to victory but also joining the 2,000 career hit club in the process.
When Erbakan has been healthy this year- he missed about a month of play earlier this season with a chronic back condition that also sidelined him for a bit more than a month in 1981 and even longer in 1980- he has played quite well. There have, however, been rumblings from inside the locker room that the notoriously lazy Erbakan has increasingly become a drain on team morale (he know carries the Disruptive label). He is signed through the 1985 season (though the club does have an option to buy out that last season) but there are some questions about which will wear out first: his body (Wrecked) or his welcome.
