Sanicencio Gets Call From Hall Sunday, July 3rd , 2078 The journey took a while, but he finally arrived -- one of baseball's finest hurlers, Franky Sanicencio, is now a member of the Rising Star League Hall of Fame. Commenting on his election, one of his longtime managers said, "My idea of managing is giving the ball to Franky Sanicencio and sitting down and watching him work. He certainly made my job easier. And he certainly made me a better manager." And pitch he certainly did -- Sanicencio appeared in 783 games in his career, tossed 5068.1 innings with 4818 strikeouts and compiled an impressive 359-204 record and 2.82 ERA. One of his opposing managers had this to say about Sanicencio, "Franky was one of the greatest pitchers I ever saw. He had knowledge, movement and form. It was wonderful to watch him pitch when he wasn't pitching against you. It was poetry in motion." The newest member of the Hall of Fame retired at age 45 and will be inducted at ceremonies this weekend. |
