Notes:
The league doesn't have much memory of Kenny Ball, who played a few games back in 1998. High school baseball experience got him through without embrassment. Well, except for the maybe shameful art he performed while pitching. According to a few eye witnesses, Kenny would dent the ball in mid-windup, which would theoretically lead to a deadened ball for the batter. Many times hitters would get all of a ball only to see it dent and fly maybe 75% os far as it would have otherwise. Kenny, if he really was doing this, was likely aiming for this result. The eye witnesses noticed a few times while shagging behind home plate that they were picking up dented balls. Hmmm...
Still, those hitting stats are probably legit!
