| | | ALL-GRAY TEAM As voted upon by select members of the Brookville Grays. These selections were based on a variety of criteria, including statistics, big game production and commitment to the Gray, among others. These selections were made April 15, 2000. Check back often to find out if your favorite Grayrider made the cut ! 1st Base - John Williams.....John dominated the Federation League during his two year tour. In 1998 he broke the Grays' single season record for batting average (.505), Triples (3), homeruns (13), RBI's (52) and runs scored (51). John also won the Fed League's MVP award for the 1997 play-offs. On defense, nothing got past him. It either went in his glove or went against his chest. Either way, he got the out. 2nd Base - Craig Puhala... There hadn't been before or has been since another defensive second baseman like Craig. He made circus plays nightly, and was second to none at turning the double play. The best thing about him was, as a lead-off hitter, if he reached first, you might as well give him a free pass to third. During the 1992 championship campaign, Craig stole 41 bases while being thrown out just twice. To put that in perspective, the ENTIRE Gray's team stole 36 bases in 2000. 3rd Base - Bruce Gunning. Bruce is one of the best all-around players to have put on a Gray uniform. He had the ability to play any position. He has a career average of .389 (4th all-time), 9 triples (tied for 1st), 181 RBI's (5th), 35 homeruns (3rd) and 62 stolen bases (6th). As a pitcher, he has 15 career wins and 117 strike outs. He has a championship series win under his belt, as well as a no-hitter. Shortstop - Mark Carrier. Simply put, he is the engergizer bunny of the Fed League. He has been with the team since they re-joined the league in 1983. That's 618 games played. 618! 1491 at-bats (1st all-time), 362 runs scored(1st), 75 stolen bases (4th), and the most impressive of them all, 440 walks. The next player has 211. Of the top ten walks in a season by a Gray, Mark holds six of those spots, including all of the top five. Through the late eighties and early nineties, he was as steady as they came as a short-stop. Not the strongest arm at the position, but his quick release always got his man. Catcher - Outfielder - Outfielder - Outfielder - Pitcher - Pitcher - Pitcher - Pitcher - Pitcher - Manager - Coach -
