2043 - FL Puckett Golden Bat Winner
Angel Zalapa
For the 6th time in 7 years Angel Zalapa was selected as the top hitting shortstop in the Frick League, winning yet another Puckett Golden Bat Award. The 28 year old notched his 6th straight season with 100+ RBI, and his 8 straight with 30+ HR.
Teammates marvel at the steady excellence of Zalapa, noting that he almost never gets injured and produces year in and year out. The numbers bear that out as he has appeared in a minimum of 158 games each of the past 6 years. Stars fans may not have had a lot to cheer about lately, but for the past 8 years they have been treated to one of the best in the game, plying his craft every day with consistent excellence.
