Islandian Pro Alliance Fifth All-Decade Team (2041-2050)

C: Corky DiNozzo (2035-2053)
One of the best backstops of all time in the IPA... DiNozzo was a 13-time Tycobbian All-Star for the Kenwood Wildcats... he was the Rookie of the Year in 2035... won the TU Most Valuable Player Award in 2048, along with the Golden Bat for that year... led Kenwood to 6 TU West Division pennants... DiNozzo batted .313 for his career, drove in 1744 runs and ranked 5th all-time in homers with 635... no catcher had more roundtrippers than him... in the playoffs DiNozzo hit .268 in 38 games with 9 homers and 26 RBIs... never won a Pro Cup ring... played for 19 years... retired at the end of the 2053 season at age 37... still quite a hitter... batted .277 his final season with 17 homers and 78 RBIs in 117 games... DiNozzi was the overwhelming choice for the best catcher in the 40s... no one came close to his stats in the decade.

Other distant contenders for the All-Decade catcher were Filipe Zamora and Ryan Nelms... Zamora played 13 seasons for the San Alejo Montaneros, finished with a .299 BA, 322 home runs and 1170 RBIs... From 2041 to 2045 Zamora even outperformed DiNozzo, but he declined rapidly after that and retired two years later at 36... 6-time All-Star... Zamora played very well in the postseason, appeared in 29 games with 6 HRs and 27 RBIs and a .287 BA, but did not win a Pro Cup trophy... at 35 Nelms is still an active player in his 10th season with the Taranto Tars... he is a 4-time All-Star and Golden Glover... career average at .261 with 432 homers and 1093 RBIs...Nelms has never played in the playoffs.
