Joe Sammut
Whenever Joe pitched he maintained a special relationship with his AWA outfielders. He would generally yell at them -- for playing too shallow, or too deep. Or being too lousy, or too slow. Or just because. And no grass monkey was safe from Joe Bubba's wrath. This fiery portside slugger joined the team in 1978 and paid immediate dividends when his grand slam homer won the league championship game of that year. A 3-time team MVP, Joe was always one of the team's best hitters, enjoying his finest season in 1982 when he batted .556 with 43 RBIs. He was an agressive baserunner, but he never slid. Well, okay, he slid once. We think it was 1986. Joe played a huge role in AWA's '96 championship run, and he was named the outstanding player of that spring season. The second winningest pitcher in AWA history, and an 11-time Pitcher of the Year, Joe Bubba entertained the possibility of continuing AWA with himself at the helm after the 2000 season. But he decided it would not be the same with so many familiar players retired. Who was he going to yell at?
