Interlude – Hall of Fame Class of 47’
The one-man class of 47’ was none other than NABL royalty Dixon Bodean, a player universally hailed as the best hitter to ever grace the diamond. Picked first overall in the 2014 Draft, Bodean was instantly labelled a generational talent and although his early returns were underwhelming, he soon developed into the fearsome hitter he was projected to be. Bodean played until he was 45-years-old, turning out for eight teams and appearing in 3681 regular season games during his twenty-six-year big league career, along the way he set a plethora of batting records that, in all-likelihood will never be broken. He also won a record ten Outstanding Hitter Awards, collected three batting triple crowns, seven batting titles, seven Homerun titles and was voted to the All-Star game a record eighteen times, to cement his place as a true NABL living legend.
