It’s been about a month since I posted my last update on the Apalachin Attack baseball team. After winning the Diamond .386 League Championship, Apalachin was promoted to a Perfect Level league, the Perfect .401. Ugh! We only had one diamond player on the team and no “perfect” players at all. With extremely fierce competition, it was going to be a tough year.

2032 - 72-90 (.444), 13 GB, 4th Place. Despite posting the worst record in team history, we at least managed to stay out of last place. Desperate to stay competitive, I took a gamble on a major acquisition by signing Randy Johnson from the 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks. The Big Unit made an immediate impact as our staff ace. Even without much run support, he put up solid numbers against Perfect Level opponents with a 13-10 record and a 3.98 ERA. Johnson was our only starter without a losing record. Offensively, Will Clark was one of our few standouts: .272, 36 2B, 2 3B, 24 HR, 74 R, 75 RBI.

2033 - 53-109 (.327), 42 GB, 5th Place. The wheels really came off in 2033 as the Apalachin Attack had a disastrous season. Playing in the Perfect .418 League against teams stacked with hall of fame players, we struggled to win even one-third of our games. We scored the fewest runs in team history (637) and our pitching was pounded as we surrendered the most runs in team history (848).
