Rod Caborn is simply a PR machine for the Orlando APBA Association. Not only has he come out with another fantastic yearbook for OAPBA but now he has a compendium of historical stats for the league.
OAPBA Lifetime Records 1988-2015
Very impressive and also interesting on how similar they are to many other leagues. With one exception… Derek Jeter. Every other league I’ve seen stats for has Jeter leading in career hits. Not OAPBA. Barry Bonds eclipses Jeter by 26 hits.
For that matter, Bonds is the dominant offensive player in OAPBA. According to Rod:
“The only major batting category that Bonds does not lead, surprisingly, is runs batted in. Alex Rodriguez drove in 691 runs, seven more than Bonds.”
Not too surprisingly, Greg Maddux (122-92) and Roger Clemens (98-78) are the two big guys on the mound. They are one-two in wins and innings pitched.
Great job, Rod!
