Forgelberg – The newly crowned Champions of the Holiday Baseball League, The McCall Mudhens are one of the most experienced teams in All-Star Baseaball and are the featured team in todays 8 teams.
One of the most successful teams in Classic history, the Hens’ have placed second and third in the first two years and are looking to grab that elusive first-place finish this year. Lifetime player Lou Brock will again anchor McCall and look to set the table out of the leadoff spot.
Owners of the sixth draft choice in the Single Season player draft they will most likely sit back and see what player falls to them. Possible candidates and fits with team philosophy are Bill Joyce, Roy Cullenbine, John McGraw, Rogers Hornsby, Ty Cobb, Billy Hamilton and Harry (call my Harvey) Heilmann.
Manager Whitey Herzog is known for drafting teams that trend toward the on-base-percentage side, with small power numbers. The odd part is that the Mudhens are KNOWN for their power hitting.
“Herzog has gained a reputation for being able to get water from a stone,” Terry Steinbach said Sunday. “He has guys with a 2 or 3 percent home run chance hitting em’ out like they are Babe Ruth. Of all the teams, the Hens’ seem to find a way to get HUGE production out of players other teams are not interested in… Herzog is a master!”
If you look at the all-time records, the Mudhens hold the top two home run seasons of all-time as well two of the top three slugging season percentage seasons.
It’s all about MOJO, and no other team has as much as the McCall Mudhens.
