THE ISLANDIAN TIMES
Monday, April 6, 2054

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

CF: Sogo Takagi (2034-2053)
His Ginza Ninjas never made the playoffs, but Sogo Takagi sure did shine in center field in the regular season for 18 years... he was a 10-time Tycobbian All-Star and 3-time Golden Glover... retired in '53 at age 39... his career BA was .300 with 510 roundtrippers, 1677 RBIs and 1872 runs scored.

Takagi nipped Kenny Mitzusaka (2033-2053) for the spot on the 40's All-Decade squad... Mitzusaka is still playing at the ripe old age of 39 for the Valka Blackhawks... 4 times he has been selected to the Ruthlandian All-Stars... Mitzusaka has won the Golden Glove 3 times... lifetime he is hitting .310 with 477 homers, 1850 RBIs and has scored 1580 runs... still looking for his first postseason appearance and first Pro Cup ring.

Also getting some votes in the poll were Paulo Teixeira of the San Alejo Monteneros (2039-2053) and Carl Ramsey of the Sugar Valley Rattlers (2039-2053)... Teixeira is an 8-time RU All-Star... 3-time Gold Glover... still playing at age 34... career average is .303 with 472 homers, 1348 RBIs and 1425 runs... hasn't done well in the playoffs with a poor .176 BA, 3 HRs, 7 RBIs and 8 runs in 13 games... Teixeira has led the Monties to three Tycobbian South Division titles... never won a Pro Cup.

Ramsey is still competing very well at age 38... lifetime he has hit .270 with 440 HRs, 1407 RBIs and scored 1323 runs... he has helped Sugar Valley win 8 RU East pennants... Ramsey had hit .256 in 78 postseason games with 14 HRs, 41 RBIs and 48 runs scored... he made the Ruthlandian All-Star club 5 times and has received 3 Golden Glove trophies.
