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

1B: Benny Hull (2034-2052)
Hull had a splendid overall career and tremendous decade in the '40s... Hull drove in over 100 runs from 2038 to 2051 missing out only one time in 2042... he was a fairly easy choice for the All-Decade club, but he did have some good competition from his peers, who were 7th and 9th in all-time roundtrippers... in his 19 seasons with the Grand City Cybercats Hull ranks 6th all-time in homers and RBIs in IPA history, hit .297 with 620 homers and 1819 RBIs... he was an 8-time Ruthlandian All-Star, won a Gold Glove and hit well in his only playoff experience, batting .333 with 1 home runs and 5 RBIs in 6 games.

Hull's main competition in the All-Decade poll came from Belair Beach first sacker Jason Butler, a Ruthlandian MVP and Golden Bat winner in 2047... ranks 7th in all-time home runs... Butler hit .297 for a career with 578 home runs and 1696 RBIs... he was an 8-time All-Star... in his limited postseason action, Butler hit well with a .333 BA, 1 HR and 5 RBIs in just 6 games... Butler starred from 2035 to 2051 for the Sunbirds.

Wayland Stetson had a great decade, too... until his club, the Denton City Redbirds, benched him in '49 and '50 for a younger player, his numbers rivaled Hull's... those two years gave Hull the spot on the All-Decade team... in 2051 he signed with Valmara and hit 36 homers and drove in 137 runs, so he wasn't over-the-hill... '52 was his last good year... he hung around with a couple of other teams for the '53 season and retired... Stetson was quite a player... 7-time All-Star, who hit .307 lifetime with 569 homers (9th all-time), drove in 1595 runs... won the Tycobbian Golden Bat in 2043 and 2044... also was twice a Golden Glover... in the playoffs Stetson fared poorly, hitting only .255 in 26 games with no homers and just 6 RBIs.
