ODDS-N-ENDS (volume 1)



Rodriguez: Mr. 300 HR Man


Congratulations goes out to Pawtucket's Hector Rodriguez. Not only is he Shoeless Joe World's career Home Run leader, but he is the only member of the exclusive '300 HR' club. He currently sits at 301, and we expect him to pile onto that total this coming season.


Lanier: 170 Runs in S5


As if Nicholas Lanier needs any more congratulations, but he continues to rack up the records here in SJW. His 170 runs scored last season is the most scored by any player in SJW history. By the time Lanier's career is over and done with, expect Nicholas to break a lot more records.



Cepeda/Prieto: 1,000 Hits Club


The achievements continue to mount here in SJW, and especially for two players in particular. St. Louis' Shaggy Cepeda and Las Vegas' Tony Prieto saw themselves joining an elite group, the 1,000 Hits Club, as they both sit at 1,031 and 1,008, respectively. We will eventually witness this club get bigger and bigger over time, but these two deserve major credit for being the first ones to join.
