The 48^th Arab League Championship began in Saudi Arabia with Beirut taking a 10-4 road win over Mecca. The hits were nearly even at 12-11, but the Bluebirds cashed in on their chances, including two homers and five RBI by Ahmed Namil. The Marksmen got one back 5-4 in game two. Beirut had tied the game with a run in the top of the ninth, but Mecca ended it in the bottom half on Ben Camacho’s sacrifice fly.

The series shifted to Lebanon as Beirut mauled Mecca 14-2 in game three, followed by a 9-7 Bluebirds win in game four. In game five, Beirut had a five-run eighth inning with Samih Iddaoudi’s three-run inside-the-park homer as the exclamation point. That pushed the Bluebirds to a 6-2 win, clinching the 4-1 series at home for their second Arab League crown (2004, 2037). Namil was the finals MVP in his first full season as a starter, going 7-21 with five homers and 12 RBI.

Other notes: In his 16^th season starting for Muscat, RF Ahmed Yasser Basha became ALB’s all-time hits leader. It was a down year with 146 hits and 4.1 WAR as he only played 111 games because of injury. Still, Basha got to 3378 career hits, passing Nordine Soule’s record 3339 which had held since 2014. Basha also became one of 49 in world history with 650+ career doubles, but he’s still 12^th in ALB and 114 from the league best.

Emad Tarek was chasing that doubles record, finishing his final season in 2037 with 754. That put him second behind Abdul Rahman Abu Hamal’s record of 773. Tarek is one of ten in world history to reach 750+ career doubles. Tunis’ Mustafa Al-Zuaiyin had 250 hits, the eighth-most in an ALB single season. In world history, it is one of only 47 seasons of 250+ hits. Sherif Abdelnaim had a 31-game hitting streak in the summer, six short of the ALB record.

Hassan Shanshol had his lowest full season for stolen bases, but was still good for 94 putting him at a stellar 1900 career swipes. The 36-year old Iraqi is second in all of baseball history behind only EBF’s Carsten Dal at 1995. In 2037, Shanshol, Tarek, and Khali Allawi each reached the 3000 hit club, making 11 members in ALB. Five others reached 2500 career hits, now met by 44 ALB batters.

Mohamed Neen was one of those to 2500 hits and was the 23^rd member of the 600 home run club. Basha, Mokhtar Bouziane, and Wisam Darwish grew the 500 homer club to 49 sluggers. Bouziane, Kamal Qasim, and Fekri Al-Baada were the 25^th, 26^th, and 27^th to 1500 runs scored. Qasim and Abdullah Al-Hafith made it 35 sluggers with 1500 career RBI.

Qasim also won his position-record 10^th Silver Slugger in CF and is one of eight in ALB with 10+ Sluggers. RF Nathan Nasreddine won his 15th Gold Glove, becoming one of only 13 in world history to achieve the feat. He and ABF’s Hana Zuhair are the only ones to do it as right fielders. LF Karrar Mazloum won his 11^th Gold Glove, becoming the third at any position in ALB with 11+ GGs.
