I met a guy the other day who pitched for VT in the mid-80s.
Wally Galla. Anyone familiar with him?
Edit: Wally told me his career batting percentage was 1.000, with a slugging percentage of 4.000. He had one career AB, against Howard, and he homered.
I asked him if it was in the 30-0 game, and he said he didn't think so.

Well, I met him as he was installing a wood stove in a house.
