Greg Brown | |||||||||||||
Simply the most dominating player in AWA history, Greg won seven team Most Valuable Player Awards while leading the team home runs 17 times and capturing 14 RBI titles. He once had 11 RBIs in a single game. Greg put up career best numbers for home runs and RBIs in 1989, but he truly shined in 1997, batting .622 with 31 extra base hits. Greg owns more club records than anyone else, including the worst reaction to undercooked chicken and career strikeouts -- although he is quick to point out that most of those "strikeouts" are a result of the "over the fence home run" limitation rule. Well, okay, but he has his fair share of the real kind as well. The man known as "Gus" in the dugout was a gifted outfielder who often saved the day with his sliding catches. Injuries and illness slowed Greg as his AWA career wound down, but his legacy as a devastating slugger kept him in the heart of the batting order until the end. His personality and his leadership on and off the field kept the team on an even keel, and his role as a team leader cannot be overstated. | |||||||||||||
