Feb 19 2057: Nicolas Bueno is released and immediately inducted into the team Hall of Fame - by Charlie Foxtrot on October 14th, 2022
At the age of 38, Nicolas Bueno was released from the team in advance of his retirement, and immediately inducted into the Hall. He will retire as the greatest Razorbacks player in team history with 2 League MVP awards and the current leader in many statistical categories. .301 career avg (1st), 507 doubles (1st), 312 HRs (2nd), 1217 RBIs (1st).
Oct 06 2056: Butterfield hits #300 - by Charlie Foxtrot on September 28th, 2022
Just a few weeks after Bueno hit his 300th homerun, Butterfield became the fourth Razorback in team history to complete the feat. The outfielder should pass Bueno and Bruce before too long but should be hard-pressed to catch Josue Rosales' team record of 403 before age and finally retirement catch up to him.
May 20 2056: Bueno hits 300! - by Charlie Foxtrot on August 23rd, 2022
Nicolas Bueno has hit home run #300! Two more home runs and he'll pass Randy Bruce for #2 on Folsom's career list. Along with his two league MVPs, Bueno challenges Rosales for greatest Razorback of all time.
Aug 14 2039: 400!! - by Charlie Foxtrot on February 14th, 2019
Josue Rosales hit his 400th home run in a losing effort this week to put an exclamation point on his hall of fame career. Rosales still needs 2 RBIs to get to 1200 for his career, has exactly 400 doubles to match his home runs and can hopefully finish the year without tarnishing his impressive .289 career average too much.
Congrats 54!
Jul 16 2039: Three away! - by Charlie Foxtrot on February 7th, 2019
Josue Rosales (OF/DH), the greatest Razorback of all time, just participated in his 10th all-star game and sits at 397 career home runs. Rosales has stated that this will be his last season in Folsom. No doubt he could be a useful player for a couple more seasons, but at 34 years of age, about to be the first 'Back in history to break 400 home runs and 1200 RBI's, he has little left to prove and little desire to come off the bench as a backup. The Cuban Missile is preparing himself for retirement while helping propel his team to a championship run. His records will stand for many years and his plaque will be first in line in the Hall.
