LOUISVILLE ECLIPSE
This is another team that will mainly rely on unknown quantities. How they do will in large part depend on their local boy outfield of Browning, Reccius and Wolf, who have already played together in semi-pro ball for a couple of years.
15 C Dan Sullivan (rookie) - This 24-year-old New Englander is a good fielder, although his hitting skills are suspect.
7 1B John Glenn (1-26-.227-1 with Providence; lifetime .274 hitter) - This veteran outfielder-first baseman seems to be past his prime, although this is a good opportunity for him to revive himself.
26 2B Gracie Pierce (rookie) - Doesn't appear to be much of a fielder, or much of a hitter.
38 SS Bill Schenck (rookie) - Again, a pretty non-descript player who they're hoping comes through.
47 3B Jimmy Say (rookie) - This 19-year-old is the younger brother of Lou Say, a backup infielder with Troy.
8 LF Pete Browning (rookie) - He's said to be a star in the making. They could certainly use one.
13 CF John Reccius (rookie) - A relatively unknown 22-year-old local boy.
17 RF Chicken Wolf (rookie) - A boyhood friend of Browning, he gives them an all-local outfield.
45 P Foghorn Bradley (17-6, 2.06 with Boston; lifetime 128-94 record) - Bradley, long a star pitcher with Boston, will take on the challenge of getting this new team to the top of the standings.
12 P Guy Hecker (rookie) - He seems to have some real potential, and will team with the established Bradley as a one-two punch.
