- was nominated 11 times to the All Star Team, won the MVP award once and got his ring
- .304 lifetime hitter with 400+ HR, 1500+ RBI and 400+ SB
- could even field the ball well
- only his playoff stats were decent at best (so he is no clutch guy, but who cares), but overall he was a great player who was even recognised in the AL
SP Bob Rooney (LA) http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=7348505&statsorimps=stats
- big reason why LA could win the World Series 4 times in a row
- unfortunately he starts his career in the Big Leagues to late and decides to retire to early so he couldnt boost his stats
- won Cy Young award 3 times, made All-Star team 5 times, won 4 rings
- stats: 450 games, 207-111, 1.21 WHIP, 3.37 ERA
- playoff stats: 13-4, 1.16 WHIP, 2.96 ERA (the main reason, LA could win at the big stage)
Walter Elliot, CF, MIL (1980-1997)
The 1980 NL Rookie of the year and 10-time all-star was one of the best leadoff hitters in FRL history. He hit over .300 nine times, scored 100+ runs eleven times, had 200+ hits seven times (led the league each of those years), and stole 30+ bases thirteen times. In the years 1986-1988 Walter challenged and just narrowly missed the all-time single season hits record of 232 with totals of 230, 229, and 231.
Elliot could do it all, winning 3 Gold Gloves, leading the league in walks 4 times, hits seven times, runs scored 3 times, doubles & triples once each, and stolen bases with a career high 59 thefts in 1986. In 1987 he had career highs in OBP and Batting Average and led the league in both with .419 and .338 clips respectively. Not known for the home run, Walter still managed to hit 246 HR's including 20 or more long balls 4 times. He really was the offensive catalyst for the Musketeer playoff teams of the late 80's and early 90's.
Elliots ranks very high in most offensive categories:
5th in hits with 3,265
3rd in runs with 2,016
6th in stolen bases with 605
3rd in singles - 2,318
3rd in doubles - 556
7th in triples with 145
3rd in walks with 1,320
Chuck Billingham, SP, MIL/NYA (1980-1996)
Billingham won 20+ games in his first six full seasons after being traded to Milwaukee, averaging 23 wins and ERA's under 3.00 each year in route to 5 straight NL Cy Young awards! On a team of pitching stars, Billingham shined the brightest and led Milwaukee to seven straight playoff appearances, 3 world series appearances, and a W.S. victory in 1989.
Chuck led the league in wins twice, complete games & shutouts 3 times, including a 2nd best all-time single season mark of 8 shutouts in 1992. He also led the league in WHIP twice and ERA once.
Billingham ranks high all-time in many pitching categories:
4th in Wins with 282
5th in GS with 605
5th in CG with 144
5th in shutouts w/ 39
13th in WHIP - 1.16
2nd in innings pitched with 4,383-1/3
3rd in strikeouts with 3,061
Dick Phillips-
Dick is one of the greatest combinations of speed and power ever in the FRL. He hit 473 homeruns and stole 536 bases in his lengthy career. His other career numbers are just as impressive: 2955 hits, 1800+ RBI, 1600+ runs scored.
Other accolades include 11 all-star appearances, 3 MVP awards, 11 trips to the playoffs and 4 World Series rings (including 3 with Philadelphia). He played over 400 games at 3B, 2B, and SS, and excelled at the 2B position, going +66 for his career and winning a Gold Glove Award. Dick hit 16 homeruns in 337 playoff at bats as well.
