Player Spotlight
What is driving the Le Morne Rouge Toucans to the upper echelon of the Francais Baseball League? Players like second year third baseman Rodrigue Deschamps.
The popular Rodrigue has been fine tuning his pitch selection as his BB/K ratio made a dramatic improvement in 1971. More importantly, it was not at the expense of his power stroke which has also increased this season. His 26 homers lead the league.
Born in St. Pierre, the original capital before the great volcanic eruption at the turn of the 1900's, Deschamps is but a stones throw from his home town while he plays ball in the rainforest of Le Morne Rouge on the island of Martinique.
His mood: "Happy as a Clam"
