Bad Flowers, Bad offensive team. In
2000, the Bad Flowers finished tenth in the 14-team league.
The team had a measly .266 team batting average.
However, its staff had a league best ERA of 3.58.
Roger Clemens, Bruce Chen, Danny Graves and Freddy Garcia were the
reasons. Other than Sammy Sosa
batting .338, no one hit over .300. Under new ownership based in Nacogdoches, Texas, the team (renamed the halos) picked a few offensive weapons such as John Olerud, Rich Aurilia, Geoff Jenkins, and Carl Everett. However, the team regressed into last place (145-234-39, .394, 87 games back) after the owners abandoned the franchise for reasons unknown. The team was sold during the off-season, to colorful individual from New York, who has relocated the franchise to that state to fill a vacancy created by the disbanding of the New York Knights. The halos were renamed to the BRONX BOMBERS. Will
having the very first pick in this years draft be enough to turn this franchise
around? We doubt it. 13 Keepers
