IPA THIRD ALL-DECADE TEAM 2031-2040

3B: Jerry Culpepper (2033-2051)
This was a very easy choice to make... Jerry Culpepper was one of the most productive longball hitters in IPA history, ranking first all-time with 878 homers and second with 2170 RBIs... only HOF-er Phil Gravelli topped him with 2493 RBIs... he dwarfed all other third sackers in the league... but his hapless Vikings never won a pennant and played in the Pro Cup playoffs... Culpepper was an All-Star 15 times for the Bayview Vikings, won the Tycobbian Golden Bat 5 times and was twice the TU Most Valuable Player ('40 and '41)... he batted .259 in his career, collected 3064 hits and scored 1738 runs... on 5 occasions Culpepper hit 60 or more roundtrippers... his highest total was 66 in 2040... Johnny Tallis of High Mesa broke his IPA single-season mark with 68 in 2047... Culpepper retired in 2051 at age 37 and will be installed in the IPA Hall of Fame this year.
