| South Jersey Baseball History: St. Joe Pitcher Almost Averages 2 Strikeouts Per Inning - 1962 Friday, June 2, 2000 By Charlie Schick Throughout baseball history, there have been a number of great strikeout pitchers, but few if any, have ever averaged two strikeouts per innings pitched over an entire season. So when St. Joseph High of Hammonton ace Sal Ingemi's 1962 totals were finally calculated, he immediately established himself a place in the South Jersey baseball record books. Rightly so, because the big southpaw with the blazing fastball and crackling curve had just accomplished a feat that no area hurler had ever done. He ended up averaging 1.98 strikeouts per inning in his senior season. |

| South Jersey Baseball History: The Dominant Pitchers Monday, April 24, 2000 By Charlie Schick When one looks for the best of the great major league pitchers with the most season victories, they have to go all the way back to the early part of the century.
