Following is a list of managers with 6 to 8 games of overusage: Cedar Rapids Hired Guns (Jerry Cada) 6 Games Champ Summers 5 AB (1) George Hinshaw 9 AB (1) Derek Botelho 2 ST (4) Moose Jaw Corsairs (John Laburda) 7 Games Brian Denman 2 ST* (2) Bob Knepper 1 ST (2) Scott McGregor 1 GM (1) Vern Ruhle 1 ST (2) San Diego Vaqueros (Steve Lehman) 8 Games Lamar Hoyt 1 ST (2) Pascual Perez 1 ST (2) Craig Swan 1 ST (2) Jerry Koosman 1 ST (2) Not bad guys, but you need to watch a bit more closely. :) There was also an 11 game overuse penalty against the Lafayette Snow Bears, but since the manager had announced he was leaving SPB IV at the conclusion of the year, the overuse for the Lafayette team will be dropped for the new manager. There was also a couple of recorded probems with MP's during play of the '82 season where the wrong players were used, and some overusage was dropped involving the Baltimore Rifles, and Oyster Creek Nukes. So overall, a great job from all our managers heading into 1983. Thanks everyone for a smooth year in SPB IV.
