RBI: Dave Parker/CIN 138
SB: Vince Coleman/STL 141WINS: Bob Ojeda/NYM 21-4; Rick Rhoden/PIT 20-12

Interesting. The 1980’s are my favorite baseball “era”. I guess because that’s when I followed it the most. Did you play all the games via APBA GO?

@NailsEastNashville I didn’t replay the playoffs. Might do that in the future. Currently replaying the 1994 NL & AL season.
