Yep, it looks like a lot of teams have a chance with Rolling Hills obviously having the best chance... I think time is catching up with the Racers... it's been a great run for over a decade, but many of the stars have now lost some of their glitter... they can hold still hold their own but in years past, they dominated at bat... Rolling Hills only had one regular bat over the .300 mark... they used to all hit .300.

I always hate to see players in decline and that is what is happening to Rolling Hills... wouldn't be surprised if 2070 isn't a last hurrah for Mulbert (age 38), Stonich (age 36) and possibly Roubique (age 34)... Mulbert had a remarkable year... he batted .331 with 79 RBIs and 82 runs scored... he still fields well... and he made the All-Star team... Stonich had a poor year for him... he batted only .247, far below his .322 lifetime BA... but he still drove in 85 runs and hit 18 out of the park... also an All-Star Roubique homered 34 times and drove in 127 runs, but his batting average was only .271... that is the third straight season he failed to hit .300... but he can still run for his age and can still play the outfield... Roubique has said as long as he can run, he can play.
