Notes:
Joey was arguably the strongest player to play our game. A man-child, Joey was the kid we all know who was benching 250 at the age of 10. On the hardball circuit Joey was known for having massive power, able to hit titanic homeruns to all parts of the field. This power didn't translate to the wiffleball diamond as strongly as many thought it would, as Joey only hit 19 HRs in 166 career ABs. Of course, those 166 ABs were spread out over the course of 4 seasons (and 7 years) and Joey did manage to hit .416 for his career.

Despite being a catcher in hardball with a hell of an arm, Joey was one of slowest pitchers we ever saw. How much he was holding back at The Sac remains to be seen, but his pitching was consistently hammered. Many sit back and wonder the kind of numbers Joey would have put up had he been a regular. It's rumored that Joey didn't think as highly of his abilities as nearly everyone else did and thus found it hard to make it out to The Sac with any semblance of consistency. Which is absolutely ridiculous.
