2016
2016 was a banner year for the Palisades WBL. The Palisades WBL contracted from 12 to 11 teams to make room for the the eight team minor league system. Tim Trenary picked up his 1000th career strikeout, Gerard Fitzgerald broke the single game hit (9) and RBI (12) record and Brian DiNapoli threw a perfect game against the Cardinals. Mariners 18-4 win Pennant, Johnny Costa first pick in draft (Dodgers).
Mike Weiner was brilliant in 2016. So much so that he didn't allow a hit until his fourth start of the season. He may not have finished the season with the guadiest of numbers but batters across the League agreed that Weiner stuff was as elusive as anyone in League history. click photo to view player stats
