Notes:
When he was locked in, Matt Holmberg was unbeatable. The problem was, he was rarely locked in. Not due to lack of focus, Matt simply didn't take the game very seriously. His pure talent allowed him to accumulate stats as well as he did despite the fact that to him, we may as well have been playing in a slow-pitch beer league. Owning some of the most impressive homeruns in league history, Matt was the definition of natural talent. The kind of guy who could return the league four years after his previous season and pick up right where he left off. Sadly, by the time 2003 rolled around, the league no longer resembled the silly free-flowing league in 1999 and prior. Players were more serious. Losses were now followed by silence, rather than chop-busting and Taco Bell runs. Games were tense. Guys cared about their stats now. Matt could only stand it for 31 ABs and disappeared again.
