the brearley.com softball team got off to a great start saturday by beating glenn construction 11-9 in dramatic fashion. we had some solid defense and timely offense. in particular our SS mark (ozzie smith) memmolo played great in the field and set the table for us at the top of the order. we hit 3 homers, all with men on base. coley foley hit a 3 run jack in his first at bat of the season. andy sanford added a 2 run homer and dennis brearley hit a WALK-OFF 3 run homer in the bottom of the 7th to give us our most dramatic and exciting win in our 3 year history. we needed some champagne and stogies after this one!!! we play again on monday & i'll be sure to detail that game..
continuing my search for the alltime 1 year wonder team i have found a catcher..todd hundley. granted he was an everyday catcher for a number of years and had some solid power numbers. however, his 1996 season is ridiculous. he hit 41 homers and drove in 112. not only is that 11 more homers than he hit in any other year, but it broke the single season record for HR's by a catcher. when you think of the catching greats of all time hundley doesn't come to mind, but there he is with the single season record. again, he had some nice years during his career, but to me that season stands out as a true one-year wonder.
It is funny to think how 1996 produced so many 1 hit wonders!!
