LYNN LAUDED AS TU GOLDEN BAT WINNER
Three powerful bats were in the running for the 2059 Tycobbian Union Golden Bat trophy... all three put up some glorious numbers... all three played for a pennant winner or pennant contender... but there is just one trophy... and it went to Showboat Lynn of the Oxford Red Caps... in a nip-and-tuck vote Lynn edged out Teddy Stonich of the Rolling Hills Reds and Lynn's blockbuster teammate Buddy Blackford.

Lynn terrorized IPA pitching... he led the IPA with 59 homers, 144 RBI and 146 runs... in 146 games Lynn swatted .344 with 198 hits, 25 doubles and 10 triples... Stonich and Bradford were the only two to come close to his numbers... they, too, had marvelous years, but not quite as good Lynn's colossal season... the 22-year-old Lynn and the 23-year-old Bradford led the Red Caps to a runaway 11-game victory in the Tycobbian North, while the 25-year-old Stonich sparked his Reds to a very close second place in the Tycobbian West... they lost by one game to pennant-winning Denton City.

Stonich was second in the TU Golden Bat voting... he was also second to Lynn with 132 RBIs and 127 runs... and fourth with 49 homers... Stonich led the entire IPA with a .369 BA, 229 hits and 46 doubles, while playing in 153 games.

Blackford also posted some strong numbers in 151 games... he batted .312 and ranked second with 50 roundtrippers, third with 123 runs and sixth in RBIs with 120.
