All SPB IV 1980 Managers,  Here is the overusage report in full for our recently completed season.  First of all, as usual, our hats go off to the following 18 teams and managers that incurred no overuse what so ever!  I will list them in alphabetical order.  Great job managers!

 

Anok Island Gnomes (Steve Brunner)

Astoria Zoo Crew (Joe DeZarlo)

Bronx Storm (Tim Johnson)

Cedar Rapids Hired Guns (Jerry Cada)

Dorsey Lemmings (Jim Bendik)

Edmonton Magpies (Chris Williams)

Fairfax Canaries (Ron Peterson)

Frankfort Firebugs (Gary Plunkitt)

Gotham City Ghosts (John Cusack)

Kansas City Barons (Mike Boling)

Kenosha Comets (Dave Lauer)

Louisiana Lightning (Mike See)

Montezuma Revenge (Greg Stillwagon)

Oyster Creek Nukes (Al Schweitzer)

Toledo Mud Hens (Rich Applegate)

Wabash Revolvers (Bill Lanke)

Worcester Grays (Hugh McElaney)

Pocono Oaks (Jim Wheeler) * Excused from penalty due to resignation

Wright-Patt Plainsmen (John Turnbull)

 

The following teams had 10 or less games of overuse:

 

Hawaii 5-0's (Terry Baxter) 4 Games

Mickey Klutts  5 AB (1)

Luis Salazar  7 AB (1)

Steve Trout  1 Start (2)

 

Baroda Serranos (Mike Galbreath)  5.5 Games (6 rounded up)

Gary Alexander*  5 AB  (.5)*

Steve Henderson  26 AB (5)

 

Lafayette Snow Bears (Steve Ehresman)  7 Games

Ken Oberkfell  11 AB (2)

Dusty Baker  9 AB (1)

Del Unser 24 AB (4)

 

Not bad at all guys!

 

Here is the only team that incurred a permanent penalty this season:

 

Iron City Rovers (Marc Robinson) 13.5 Games (14 rounded up)

Rick Dempsey  11 AB (2)

John Grubb  5 AB (1)

Jay Johnstone 17 AB (3)

Brian Kingman  2 Starts (4)

Dennis Blair*  5 Games (2.5)*

Paul Hartzell*  1 Game (.5)

Darold Knowles* 1 Game (.5)

 

Just need to bring it a little more in line next year Marc.  :(

 

There were actually two teams that would have incured a permanent penalty,  one was the Spirit Mountain Volcanoes, managed by Marc Hollingsworth.  This would have been a heavy penalty too.  But since Marc announced a month or so ago that he was leaving SPB IV at the conclusion of the season, the team will not incur any penalty, so as not to punish the new manager for 1981. 

 

Overall a really good job by our managers in this regard.  Thanks!

 

Best,

Gary
