I'm honoured to have First Baseman GIL HODGES in my fictional league.He played 2 seasons in AAA managing 26 games at .208 before dropping to AA where he's played 139 games over 3 years at .250.He is now 29 and his national and local popularity is given as unknown.

First season of my fictional solo league, Dallas leads Queens 2 games to 1 in the World Series. Top of the 7th inning, score tied 1-1, Dallas gets the lead off man on, prompting Queens to bring in a new pitcher. Sac bunt moves the runner to second; Queens issues an intentional BB to set up the double play; and the next Dallas batter hits into a fielder's choice at second. With two outs and runners at the corners, the Queens reliever then gives up three consecutive bases-on-balls to give Dallas a 3-1 lead. Dallas went on to win the game 4-3 and then won the next game to take the league's first ever championship.

The reliever's name? Earl Walker.

Young outfielder Bob Gibson is hitting over .300 in his first full season as a regular player.

I figured he'd hit more like .112.

Yeah, but your high school principal probably could have gotten somebody out.

There's a relief pitcher named Don Cherry who just got drafted by the Nationals in my league.

Jose Feliciano is a up and coming star first baseman in my fictional league. I think he just holds up his glove and hopes the ball lands in it...

(for the youngsters in the audience, Jose Feliciano IRL is a blind guitarist, famous for an acoustic version of Light My Fire.)

Questdog · 10-04-2010, 01:21 AM

Just found a fellow in my old-time league named Heinie Painter.....

OldFatGuy · 10-04-2010, 03:58 PM

Heh, I just signed a free agent named Nick Tucker.

I know, really lame. The nick/tuck thing made me smile though.

Afino · 10-24-2010, 08:58 PM

Third baseman in my leagued named Raleigh Palen.

Change a letter in the last name and it actually sounds completely believable as one of her kids' names....

I had a Player named Mike McCarthy (Head Coach of the GB Packers).

I then renamed him Joseph McCarthy (Former U.S. Senator).

One of my favorites is overachieving starter: Henry "The Troll" van Ness.

I came across this player a few seasons ago:

"O isn't very smart" - Hey, as long as he can spell his last name, he can play in my league.
