STOP THROWING HIM STRIKES


Apparently AL pitchers haven't gotten the news yet but Antonio Chapman hits the ball a long ways. Stop pitching to him already.

Chapman, a 23 year-old first baseman for the Texas Riders hit 67 and 69 HRs in his first two seasons, has twice been an All-Star, won the Rookie of the Year and Home Run Derby in Season 9, and he plays in one of the most HR-friendly parks in the league.

Well, season 11 is no different. In 8 games, Chapman has hit 10 Hr's including a 3-game stretch in Santa Fe (where you weigh less than you would on the moon apparently) where he his 7 HR's. That's right, 3 games, 7 HR's. For that series he was 12-15 (.800) with 3 doubles, 8 runs scored, 2 walks, and 13 RBI. For Pete's sake reigny, bean the dude already!
