August 10th thru August 17th, 1903 SIM

Sorry for the delay between the updating to 20.4.40 and having my two online leagues starting their drafts, and having opening days in 1924 and 1978.. I have been a little lax here... Will be gettin back to it now...

Ramrods at 65-49 hold a slim one game lead over the Atlantic City Rollers. In fact all 4 Divisions in RABA are currently quite tight. In the Chadwick leagues other Division (Spalding) the Worcester Riders have a 1 game lead over the Southampton Sea Horses…

Over in the Doubleday League in the Reach Division the Viper Snakes are leading the Chattanooga Cho Choo’s by a half game, and in the Wilson Division the Skidaway Island Divers hold a one game lead over the Cape Corel Starfish…

FYI almost the cities that teams play in throughout RABA and sub-leagues have a special meaning to me, either I lived there, worked there, have family/friends there, etc….

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK:

22-year-old Jeff Burroughs sent shock waves through Ratified American Baseball Association last week with an eye-popping performance that brought him the Chadwick League Player of the Week Award. A newcomer to the league, Burroughs made the establishment sit up and take notice, punishing opposing pitchers with a .458 average, 11 hits in 24 at-bats, 2 home runs and 6 runs batted in. Where the Worcester Riders left fielder goes from here, only the baseball gods know for sure, but Burroughs certainly made his mark last week. So far this season Burroughs has put up a .280 batting average with 99 hits, 20 home runs and 55 RBIs.


Mike Pagliarulo has the tools to stick in this league for many years. The 22-year-old third baseman of the Viper Snakes had a hot bat in the Doubleday League over the past seven days and won the Player of the Week honors. Pagliarulo batted .571 with 8 hits in 14 at-bats, 3 home runs and 7 RBIs. This year Pagliarulo has batted at a .277 pace with 62 hits, 16 home runs, 37 RBIs and scored 27 times.

KEY INJURIES:
No Key Injuries this SIM…

NOTES:

Some Great Pitching in back to back games by Oswalt and Seaver…

Oswalt Brilliant, Blanks Rockers
Sunday, August 16th, 1903
Roy Oswalt was in a zone of his own most of the day, shutting out the Winchester Rockers on 4 hits. "He was too darn good for us today," grumbled Winchester manager O P Caylor after the 4-0 loss to the Huntington Station Ramrods. Oswalt finished with 7 strikeouts and 3 walks in a strong outing. In the postgame press conference, Huntington Station manager Fred Rocker said Oswalt "had good velocity, good movement and had those guys off balance. He just pitched his butt off." In 31 starts this year Oswalt has fashioned a 15-8 record and a 2.38 ERA.
Seaver Whitewashes Ocean City
Saturday, August 15th, 1903
Huntington Station Ramrods hurler Tom Seaver was at his best as he whitewashed the Ocean City Islanders 3-0 today. "He just kept the ball down, did a good job, made his pitches," said Ocean City manager Jim Gifford. "We didn't do a good job making adjustments, so we helped him out a little bit." Seaver fired a 1-hitter and totaled 8 strikeouts and 1 walk in the shutout performance. Over the season Seaver has thrown 189 innings and dished out 138 strikeouts with a 13-7 mark and a 3.48 ERA.
