I’ve spent a good part of this week working on all-time league leaders for the Illowa APBA League. I did a quick summary here at the IAL website where I concentrated on how our active players are faring.
It’s a fact of life that records are meant to be broken and players from the past will eventually be pushed out of the annals of top ten lists. Hitters like Derek Jeter, Manny Ramirez and Chipper Jones are pushing down past IAL greats like Jim Rice, Andre Dawson and Mike Schmidt, at least when it comes to the numbers. But that’s just the nature of numbers and the sport.
Derek Jeter, by the way, has eased himself into the #3 spot in career hits with 2644. Only Cal Ripken and Wade Boggs stand in his way. Alex Rodriguez finished 2011 with 599 homeruns (he has since broken 600 this season) and only Barry Bonds has more with 655.
By virtue of his stamina, Livan Hernandez is climbing SIX different career all-time categories (granted, one is walks and another is losses). Also, Mariano Rivera who is the all-time leader in saves (435) can now claim the all-time ERA title with a 2.93 mark since he now has pitched enough innings to qualify.
Here are the links to the IAL leaderboards:

I was just pondering this for my own replay stats. I have only 1 completed full season. My computer crashed and I have all the final numbers on paper so I was wondering how you set this up?
FYI Congrats on having a league long enough to have this much stats saved up.
