The following is No. 5 of a 20-part series reviewing the 2006 All-American Baseball League. Each feature will focus on one team. It will include the following sections: The Good (highlighting a team strength), The Bat (highlighting a hitting star) and the Ugly (lowlighting a team shortcoming). It will also include the team Most Valuable Player and a final hitting and pitching statistical report.

Michigan Wolverines
AABL East, 75-87, 6th Place

The Good: Closer Steve Howe racked up a 9-4 record and 28 saves. The hard-throwing left-hander gave up just one home run in 78 innings.

The Bat: Short stop Barry Larkin led the Wolverines in seven offensive categories including average (.286), hits (182) and home runs (11).

The Ugly: Despite worthy candidates such as Barry Larkin, no Wolverines were named to the East All-Star team.

Team MVP: Barry Larkin, short stop (shown below). Larkin was sixth among East hit leaders and tied for fourth in stolen bases.
