Ask anyone in the league as to why they still play Burby and the answer will always be the same. It is to recapture those lazy summer days . To relive your childhood and bring back so many memories. One thing we all did was emulate the big leaguers. Burby was always better played as an alter ego. Todays TBLers still have fun pretending and preaching the different styles of the stars.

Jack Cherry is Andrew McCutchen

"I try to be a complete package, I want to be the hardest out pitchers have to face every game.  Being able to hit for average, power and walk a lot have been consistent attributes of mine over 3 full seasons now.  Being a sure handed defender is icing on the cake."

 

Robert Irvine is Mark Buerle

 "I would say Buerle as I move pretty quick pitch after pitch and like to use movement in my pitches"

 

Rob Leth is Mark Trumbo

 "All or none swing of Trumbo (not as big)"

 

Rob Scotland is Joe Mauer

" Not gonna wow anyone with my power but I like to pride myself on contact hitting and spraying singles and doubles around the field."

 

Jerome Persaud is Paul Molitor

" His calm upright stance. Wide feet with just a bit of step. Loose, active hands. And, his quick, explosive swing that used hips to drive torso, shoulders, arms and hands. Achieving that guy's ability isn't possible, but he's a good one to learn from."

 

Ian Ariza is Eric Byrnes

 " He is a high energy player. That's me for sure"

 

Adrian Golombek is Tony Fernandez

" I like to have a cool calm demeanor at the plate. Tony's signature "snake like" pre swing is always fun to emulate. I think Fernandez got his style from Hall of Famer Rod Carewew.
