Anyone who follows the WPK knows that the El Paso Dawgs were the doormats of the league for the first decade of its existence. In the past few seasons they have been on the rise and currently they sit just one game behind Philadelphia in second place in the Shoeless Joe League. And this talented crew is led in the clubhouse by their respected veteran captain, 34-year old 9-time All-Star third baseman Trevor Leach.
On Thursday Leach became the 14th player in WPK history to collect 2,000 career hits. And while there can be no doubt that he is proud of this achievement, anyone who knows Leach can vouch that his ultimate goal this year is to finally find himself and his team playing in the Kinsella Classic Series at the conclusion of this season, and to help lead the Dawgs to their first WPK championship.
