 South Jersey Baseball History:Driving Them Home, The All-Time RBI Producers Tuesday, June 12, 2001 By Charlie Schick Every good baseball squad has that one guy they can depend on in the clutch. A player they can count on to deliver the big hit or key sacrifice fly to drive-in an all important run or two. Many times he is the team's leading home run producer, but that is not always the case. Most importantly, this guy is his team's clutch RBI man, the player that always seems to deliver under pressure. Dependable, consistent, game after game, he seems to come through in the clutch and more often than not, he carries his teammates to victory. |

| South Jersey Baseball History: The 20 Something Strikeout Artists Wednesday, May 23, 2001 By Charlie Schick On Tuesday night, May 8, 2001, a 6'10" flame-thrower by the name of Randy Johnson used his slider and blazing fastball to register 20 strikeouts against the Cincinnati Reds. Thus, the Arizona Diamondbacks ace southpaw became the third major league hurler and first left-hander to strike out 20 batters in nine innings. He will, however, not go into the record books as doing so, because he left the contest tied 1 to 1 after 9 innings and since the Diamondbacks won the game 4 to 3 in 11 innings, his totals will be imprisoned in the extra innings records. |
| South Jersey Baseball History: The Home Run Hitters, A Line-up of Thunder Tuesday, May 8, 2001 By Charlie Schick Last month, April 18, 2001 to be exact, San Francisco Giants left-fielder Barry Bonds hit his 500th major league home run and thus joined an elite group of 16 power hitters who make up the big league's greatest home run hitters of all time. Not only is Bonds the 17th member of this 500-plus homer club, he is also the 9th outfielder among them. |

| South Jersey Baseball History: All Time Strikeout Pitchers The Gunfighters Of The Diamond Monday, April 9, 2001 By Charlie Schick Opening day at Yankee Stadium, April 2, 2001, saw New York's Roger Clemens tie or break, depending on which historical stats you accept, Walter Johnson's American League all-time strikeout record. The uncertainty of Clemens accomplishment occurred because the record book states Johnson's total strikeouts is 3508, whereas Total Baseball Encyclopedia reports his mark as 3,509. So, the only thing certain right now is that Roger will establish the American League record on his next starting assignment. |
