2008, Tearing through the Record books

The 2008 season has left a large imprint on the KWL record book. Five of twelve single season hitting records were set this season, while four of eleven single season pitching records were reset.

Bryan Jennings of the Gentlemen captured the first KWL triple crown and in the process set four new records; Single Game Hits (10), Single Season Hits (76), Runs Scored (51), and Homeruns (25). Jennings also became the All-time leader in Homeruns (47), and Career Avg. (.501).

Long time KWL veteran Brian Meyers beat the seemingly unbeatable single season Rbi record set by Matt Kirsch in 2007 with 71 Rbi's of his own. Brian also added to his All-time records for Hits (186), Rbi (156), Runs (112), Wins (21), K's (301), and Shutout's (12).

Jacques' very own, Adam Nash won 10 games for the first time in KWL history and also set the single season shutout record with 7. He also set a personal record of 4 handjobs in a day given to Rimmier.

John Quardokus of the Shanghai Chuckers blew away the Innings pitched record with 71 innings this season, passing the old record by more then 10 Innings.

In route to his first KWL Cy Wiffle, Andy Ross' pin point control set the single season record for whip with an impressive mark of 0.74.
