I signed on to participate in the latest iteration of "Chicks Dig The Long Ball" where all teams play in hitters parks and all pitcher salaries are less than $1 million. Just for kicks, I looked up the past leagues from the links the league commissioner (WeatherNut) gave us, and I compiled a list of records for us to shoot for in the upcoming league. These of course don't count for the actual "record books" since it's a theme league, but they are eye-popping, and as a bonus, it's a nice addition in the trophy case for your account.
