36 year old Rube Waddell is just 50 strikeouts shy of 4000.

Cecil Fielder once again leads the league in home runs with 24. Fielder just took back the lead from Eric Davis who has 23.

The Tulsa Drillers have moved Nap Lajoie into the leadoff spot in 1980. Lajoie had a great month of July, creeping back into 3rd in the batting title race behind Lou Boudreau and the leader Tommy Davis. Lajoie has driven in 100+ runs in each of the last 8 seasons, but that streak will likely end in 1980 due to batting leadoff. Entering the month of August Lajoie has driven in 40 runs.

Dazzy Vance is 16-3 on the season so far with an ERA under 2,

Greg Maddux is having a strange season. His 2.42 ERA is third best in the league, but even though he's not giving up a lot of runs, his record is only 12-10. He's been hot lately to pull himself above .500 on the season. His Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are right in the thick of the race for the division title. Will be interesting to see if he can win 8 more games over the next two months to keep his streak of winning 20 games alive.

I never realized that Ron Santo only played till he was 34 years old. Santo is 34 in my league and he's been having his worst season by far, at times struggling to keep his average above .200. A good July got his average up into the .230's, so I'm hoping he can right the ship and continue his career. The OOTP gods can be so cruel.

The Arkansas Travelers have kept Alan Trammell on their roster all season so far, but continue to start Royce Clayton at SS the majority of the time. Trammell has served as Clayton's backup at SS, but he's also got starts as the teams DH. The trade deadline just passed. I was watching to see if the Travelers would trade Clayton or heaven forbid, Trammell.

Another I never realized tidbit is the fact that Mike Morse came into the league as a SS. Was about to gripe about the Cedar Rapids Kernels using Morse as their everyday SS, doing so with stellar red 1 rating, but finding out he played there in real life makes my gripe have a lot less bite.
