1994 All-Star Break

June 22nd 1994 - Lisbon look like the class of the league this year. That is they can avoid injuries which seem to be happening a lot this season.

Code:

Vienna     34  41  16        Budapest    38  37   7

Notes -

Madrid scored 6 in the top of the 1st against Lisbon on April 10th, but they lost the game 11-6.
Amsterdam beat Barcelona 10-8 in 20 innings on May 11th in the longest game of the season so far. Last year's WL champs have had lots of other losses to go along with it. They have suffered a few injuries and their pitching is dismal this year.
Paris scored 12 runs in the 7th of a 12-11 win over Brussels on May 4th.
The whole of the Black Sea division has a winning record, whereas the whole of the Baltic division has a losing record. Berlin fired their GM in May after a 13-26 start, but they are still actually in the title race.

Player Notes -

Some great veteran players have reached important milestones. A.J. Meresmaa (Hamburg) and Vilfred Krak (Warsaw) both passed 2000 hits. Jesus Ruiz (Warsaw) became the third man to reach 200 EBL wins. Philippe Martin (Athens) clobbered his 300th homer on May 1st, the same day that he was named as April EL Hitter of the Month.
Stockholm's Alexander Parnevik was 3/4 with 2 HR and 7 RBI in his team's 14-5 win over Budapest in the second week of the season. This RBI output has been topped by Josef Schmollinger (Vienna) who drove in 8 after a 3/3 day with a double, a homer and 4 runs scored in a 17-7 win over Barcelona.
There have been three one-hitters in the first half of the season. The successful pitchers were Bernhard Grondgrens (Zurich), Francis Maze (Berlin) and Hubert Sittler (Prague).
Nicodemus Theothanou (Brussels) had an injury early in the season (see below). In one of his comeback games, he scored 5 of his teams 18 runs in a win over Madrid. He followed this game up with a second consecutive two-homer contest.
April's WL Hitter of the Month was Bartolomej Burik (Zurich). The Pitching Award winners were Egbert 'El Kapitan' Kapitan (Brussels) and Brad Mardment (Budapest).
May's award winners were -

WL Hitter - Romochka Wider (Lisbon) - .378/6/26
EL Hitter - Thomas Meinert (Copenhagen) - .407/6/19
WL Pitcher - Cosmo Popotas (Paris) - 4-1/2.35
EL Pitcher - Jesus Ruiz (Warsaw) - 4-0/1.53

The two EL winners have now taken home 14 monthly awards between them, with Ruiz picking up 8 of them.

Significant Injuries -

Gage McMahan (Athens) missed the first month of the season with a groin problem.
A knee injury kept Nicodemus Theothanou (Brussels) out for 4 weeks early on.
Klement Thunmark (Dublin) injured his shoulder in April and will be out for all of the 1994 season.
1993's WL Hitter of the Year, Stefan Fingerlos (Barcelona), missed 5 weeks because of a bad back. The Iguanas also had injuries to Raul Marroquin and Vojislav Davidovic to cope with.
Hamburg's young closer Lars Shanahan is out for the season with a back injury. His ERA was 1.74 in the month that he was able to play.
Lisbon's Pantalian Lobeiro is also out for the season with an elbow injury.
Ianos Cukar (Warsaw) will miss 8 weeks after the break with a bad back.
