| In 1977, Dennis Jennings and his Quad City Thunderchickens
won his first IAL championship with the help of Jay Johnstone and
Rick Monday and the arm of Mark Fidryrch. Tedd Mallasch and his
Chicago Champions garnered first place behind bat of MVP thirdbaseman Mike
Schmidt who led the league with 45 homeruns and 130 rbis.
Rocket-Fire outfielder Garry Maddox picked up the batting title with a
.356 batting average.
On the pitching side of things, Cy Young winner Ferguson Jenkins led the league with a 2.43. Amazingly, reliever Rollie Fingers led the league with 21 wins. That's even more of a feat considering his Maquoketa Cardinals only won 77 games for the years. |
