Something For Everyone (And Then Some!!!)
At the end of each league season, some recognition is always given to those individuals who contributed to the team in some way. The following categories -- most real, some intended for a few laughs -- are mostly from the offensive part of softball; some are just plain offensive! (Have a little sense of humor, guys!) So, for what it's worth, here we go:
Most Plate Appearances: Rich Avery, Gene Hitt (tie, 43)
Most At-Bats: Rich Avery (40)
Most Runs: Gene Hitt (20)
Most Singles: Gene Hitt (20)
Most Doubles: Vern Amaro, Frank Fletcher, Gene Hitt, Joe Machado (tie, 2)
Most Triples: Rich Avery (5)
Most Home Runs: Joe Machado (3)
Most RBIs: Frank Fletcher (22)
Most Walks: Frank Fletcher (4)
Most Sacrifices: Vern Amaro (2)
Highest On-Base Percentage: Vern Amaro (.619) (Jerry Amaro had a perfect 1.000 for his single season at-bat and Eddie Sousa had .667, but a minimum of 5 games must be played.)
Highest Slugging Percentage: Joe Machado (.923)
Highest Batting Average: Vern Amaro (.622) (Eddie Sousa had .667, but a minimum of 5 games must be played.)
Most Hits: Vern Amaro, Gene Hitt (tie, 23)
Most 4-Hit Games: Gene Hitt (2)
Most Single-Game Points: Frank Fletcher (31)
Most Offensive Points: Frank Fletcher (113)
Most Valuable Player (Tulare City League, Division 1, spring 2003): Vern Amaro (32 total points -- 6 first place votes, 2 third place votes -- as voted by his teammates. Thank you!)
And for our special categories....
Most Non-Appearances: Eddie Sousa (8; was he the new guy at our last double-header?) (Loyal was a close second with 5; August took third with 4)
Perfect Attendance: Roy Aguayo, Jerry Amaro, Vern Amaro, Rich Avery, Gordon Caudle, Frank Fletcher, Lee Garcia, Gene Hitt, Nelson Vieira (All 10 games; gold stars to all of you!)
Most Memorable Performance: Joe Machado (In Game VII, Joe played his first game as a new father. He proceeded to go 4 for 4, with 2 singles, 2 HRs, 5 RBIs, 2 runs, 1.000 BA, and 3 bonus points for an individual total of 27 offensive points. But good things, as always, never seem to last. In Game VIII, he went 1 for 5, with 1 double, 2 runs, .200 BA and 6 offensive points. Joe went home, never to be seen again for the rest of the season.... Joking aside, once again congratulations, Joe! We all know there are bigger things in life than softball. By the way, I might be needing some pointers in the production category -- making children, mind you, not hits and runs!)
Most Games Lost In A Row: Heavy Metal Softball! (6; we all take the credit for this record, gentlemen -- let's not try to break it!)
You've been a great bunch of guys to play side-by-side with, men! All kidding aside, I was really proud of our efforts, most especially the consistent team attitude displayed. I tip my cap off to all of you. Y'all ready for more? I'll see what I can stir up and let you know. My tentative plans are to play a league in the fall, preferrably in Visalia. In the meantime...keep rockin', Heavy Metal!
