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

3B: Jerry Culpepper (2033-2051)
This was another clear-cut choice for the All-Decade Team... the all-time home-run king in the Islandian Pro Alliance, Jerry Culpepper, easily outdistanced the field... not only did Culpepper top the IPA with 878 roundtrippers, he ranks second in RBIs with 2170... beaten only by legendary first baseman Phil Gravelli with 2493... 5 times in his illustrious career Culpepper hit 60 or more homers in a season with a high of 66 in 2040... only High Mesa's Johnny Tallis ever did better with 68 in 2047... Culpepper was a 15-time Tycobbian All-Star, won 5 Golden Bats ('37, '39, '40, '41, '45), twice was the Tycobbian Most Valuable Player ('40, '41)... career-wise he hit .304 with 878 HRs, 2170 RBIs and scored 1738 runs... never made the playoffs because he played for the perpetually mediocre Bayview Vikings... he retired at age 37 in 2051... Culpepper is a shoo-in for the IPA Hall of Fame.

The rest of the All-Decade Team contenders were pale compared to Culpepper... Denny Simmons of Sligo batted .309 with 308 homers, 1414 RBIs and scored 1610 runs... he was a 6-time All-Star and 2-time Golden Glover... only made the playoffs twice, but hit extremely well with a .427 BA, 4 HRs, 8 RBIs and 10 runs in 27 games.

Cold Creek third sacker Joe Cochrane was third in the voting... 7-time Ruthlandian All-Star... Gold Glover... batted .305 lifetime with 225 HRs and 1000 RBIs... only played in one postseason and did poorly, batting only .182 in 5 games.

Southport third baseman Craig Glennon came in fourth in the All-Decade balloting... twice a Tycobbian All-Star... played '36 to '51... batted .260 with 420 HRs and 1356 RBIs... mediocre playoff record with .223 BA, 10 homers, 25 RBIs and 26 runs in 54 games.
