BLUE CAP GREAT SCHUELER ONLY ENSHRINEE FOR 2079 IPA HOF
Another great Islandian Pro Alliance player has been selected to the elite immortals in the IPA Hall of Fame... Steve Schueler, the fleet center fielder of the Blue Lake Blue Caps, was enshrined into that legendary group this spring at the Hall of Fame in Marston.
What a model of consistent high play... Steve Schueler played 18 years with the same team, the Blue Lake... he starred from 2057 to 2074, batted .310 over his career with 3136 hits, 538 doubles, 189 triples, 73 homers, 1039 RBIs, 1771 runs, 1840 walks, 415 stolen bases and .416 OBP... his worst year was his last at age 38... Schueler hit .280 with 30 doubles, 3 triples, 2 homers, 39 RBIs, 92 runs scored, 18 stolen bases, 99 walks and a .399 OBP... not bad for an old guy... Schueler was a standout center fielder winding up with a .987 BA... Blue Lake rarely made the playoffs during Schueler's career... they captured their only TU North pennant in 2068 and lost in the first round four games to one to the Southport Sun Sox..
