Yeah, this one would be a division crown won on character and winging **** day by day.

Matt Nunley has the second-most seasons as a Critter (trailing Brownie by one) and has the most games, games started (nine short of 2,000), and at-bats, but as he was never a threat to be a serial All Star, he trails in the quality categories. He is…:

2nd in hits (2,193) behind Cookie Carmona (2,299)
2nd in doubles (366) behind Daniel Hall (485)
5th in homers (154) behind Daniel Hall (223), Mark Dawson, Neil Reece, and Tetsu Osanai
2nd in RBI (930) behind Daniel Hall (980)
4th in runs (873) behind Daniel Hall (1,101), Cookie Carmona, and Neil Reece
2nd in walks (701) behind Daniel Hall (1,099)

Silverware include the 2014 ROTY crown (back-to-back with Ronnie McKnight then), one All Star nomination, three Platinum Sticks, and one Gold Glove, most of that stuff in the 2010s. One should also note that his current .757 OPS is his highest in a decade. His career OPS is .725, which is 56th amongst Raccoons with at least 500 at-bats; a steady producer without any great peaks or valleys (but a great glove!); well, except for last year when he missed 108 games with the broken leg.

He has also never played anywhere but at third base. Not one third of an inning.
