I thought I should mention some of the other fine pitchers that were in the running for the Fifth All-Decade Team in the IPA.

Matt Bell of the San Alejo Montaneros, a mound mate of Will McKinney... won 3 Tycobbian Golden Arms... 6-time All-Star... won 20 or more games 8 times in the decade... but was hurt by his poor performance in the playoffs... 0-3 record in four starts with a 4.30 ERA... he is 330-170 with a 2.33 ERA in his 15 seasons with the Montaneros... he was really hard to leave off the All-Decade team... he has helped the Monties win three Tycobbian South Division flags.

Ralph Hawk of the Ranford Bulls has won 3 Ruthlandian Golden Arms ('48, '49 and '51)... outstanding in the Pro Cup playoffs with a 9-3 mark and a great 1.55 ERA in 14 starts... won the 2040 Pro Cup MVP trophy while sparking the Bulls to the IPA title... overall left-hander Hawk is 284-160 with a 2.44 ERA... 3-time All-Star... Ranford rarely make the playoffs... only twice in Hawk's 16 years with the Bulls has the club made the postseason.

James Long of the Middlefield Roosters has paced his club to 7 Ruthlandian West Division pennants in his 15 years there... 7 times an All-Star... lifetime he is 308-191 with a super 2.60 ERA, twice won the Ruthlandian Golden Arm ('50 and '52) and Long captured the Ruthlandian MVP trophy in 2052... in the postseason playoffs in 22 starting assignments Long is 9-9 with a very strong 2.04 ERA.

Jayson Hallstrom of the Summerland Sunsets is a 7-time Tycobbian All-Star with a career 321-225 record and a 2.61 ERA... in the Pro Cup playoffs Hallstrom is 4-4 with a 3.52 ERA in 10 starts... Summerland has won three Tycobbian South Division titles in his tenure.
