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

2B: Jojo DeLucca (2035-2053)
Sorry... when it came to second sackers in the IPA, no one was close to Jojo DeLucca in the 2040's... he was an almost unanimous choice for the IPA Fifth Decade Team... DeLucca made the Ruthlandian All-Stars 13 times... won the Golden Glove 7 times... drove in 100 or more runs in the decade 9 times in 10 years... has played for the Claxton Diamonds 19 seasons and still very active... the younger DeLucca is still playing at age 37 and isn't done yet... last year he hit .305 for average, cracked 21 out of the park, batted in 96 runs and scored 97 times... also made the Ruthlandian All-Star team... he has led Claxton to 5 Ruthlandian South Division flags, but never won a Pro Cup ring... DeLucca is 6th all-time in RBIs... in his fabulous career DeLucca is carrying a .311 BA with 542 homers, 2049 RBIs and 1817 runs... won his only RU Golden Bat and Most Valuable Player Award in 2045... batted .299 in the playoffs with 8 home runs, 32 RBIs and scored 23 runs in 45 games... he is the son of Hall-of-Famer Joe DeLucca, who starred mainly for Volusia in the teens and 20's... his dad hit .304 lifetime with 384 homers, 1508 RBIs and scored 1107 runs... inducted into the IPA Hall of Fame in 2039.

Turon's talented second baseman C. C. Kingsford was second and far back in the All-Decade poll... he was an 8-time TU All-Star... compiled a .308 career BA with 437 roundtrippers and 1603 RBIs... led the Typhoons to 2 Tycobbian South Division crowns in '38 and '39... in 11 games Kingsford batted .354 in postseason play with 1 home runs, 7 RBIs and 5 runs scored... he is the son of the all-time IPA great and Hall-of-Fame first baseman Clyde Kingsford, a career .319 hitter with 485 homers in just 14 seasons... his father made the Hall of Fame in 2029 and also played and managed for Turon.

Marty Featherstone of the Rocky Rapids Snappers was the only other votegetter for the Fifth All-Decade squad... he's still contributing to his club at age 34... 27 HRs, 98 RBIs and 102 runs last season with a .309 BA... Featherstone is a 5-time RU All-Star, 3 times was named a Golden Glover, took the Ruthlandian Golden Bat in 2046, slamming 39 HRs, driving in 128 runs and scoring 119 and hitting .303... he's been to the playoffs only twice, batting only .242 with 3 homers, 7 RBIs and 12 runs in 17 games.
