AT's world series team was not very good. The team . . .

. . . hit .240 with 21 HR's, averaged 3.5 runs per game and committed 62 errors. That error total is terrible considering opponents struck out an astounding 788 times in 68 games. That's 11.5 of the required 21 outs (7 innings) accounted for in the circle. In other words the defense playing behind AT only had to get 9 outs. In general, batting averages were lower then (it was truly the era of the pitcher) but I wonder if that VT was the one of the worst offensive teams to ever play in OKC? ** Edited by MidloHokie at 4/10/2024, 3:19:36 PM ** Edited by MidloHokie at 4/10/2024, 3:33:00 PM

"freak accident" was actually a "moment of frustration"

I thought I saw her do that in rewatching the game

Yeah that stinks. One team I know lost the nation’s HR & GSlam leader

Yep, we can certainly feel their pain.**

That happened to another team? What are the chances? :-)**

Not surprised about Royalty. There's a reason most elite P's are 5'10" . .

Angela Tincher is a notable exception. I always marveled at her power and

AT was a true biomechanical marvel. #3 all-time K's. The two P's . . .

Another generational pitcher.

Those VT teams couldn't spell offense.

I never realized that but it totally makes sense**

Nothing says we would outperform them BECAUSE of their injuries.

+1 for that last sentence.**
