After a second place division finish in 2021, the Apalachin Attack were promoted to the Gold .299 League. During the season, we made two acquisitions. We signed pitcher Curt Schilling in July to strengthen our starting staff. He gave us everything we hoped for and more. Schilling quickly established himself as the staff ace. His stat line was impressive enough to have won pitcher of the year if he had pitched the whole season: 11-3, 2.53 ERA, 93 K in 16 games. I wanted to add an impact bat to our lineup to give a boost to our below average offense. Therefore, I signed first baseman Hank Greenberg to be our new designated hitter. He did not make the impact I had hoped for in his 58 games played: .251, 7 2B, 10 HR, 27 R, 23 RBI, 21 BB, 75 SO. Overall, we finished the season 82-80, which was only good enough for a disappointing fourth place finish in the American Conference West Division.
