Notes:
Ahhh...you can't measure the impact of one Bob Banos. James Vassar's cousin was introduced to the game one miserable day in 2000 at The Byrd House. He played one game and then returned in 2002 as a last-round draft pick by cousin James to fill out the Longballs' roster.
He only played one gameday but still managed to set a mark of futlity that was never matched. Let me put it to you this way:
The man walked 17 batters in only 3.0 IP. 17!!!! After his three innings of work, he was never seen again for the remainder of the season yet he still finished tied for 3rd in the league in BBs. That one day was a nightmare for the league and is a large reason the 2002 season was such a bust.
The doubleheader Bob played in was against the Road Warriors, facing rougher times that day with just Darnell Uhland and rookie Chris Keefer (seeing his first ABs) in attendance. Chris was also seeing his last ABs. Chris' friend, Hart McKenzie, faced the Longballs in the nitecap. He too was never heard from again. So
you could make the argument that Bob effectively ended the careers of three players that day with his *terrible* pitching. How? Because no game where a pitcher is almost walking six batters per inning is fun. No game. The sad thing is players like Chris Keefer and Hart McKenzie walked away from the league
thinking we endorsed this sort of behavior on the field.
