Hutting and Enciso are again in Independent League Baseball:
 
Asking about 1 player and Googling for another player and I found 2 more Pro Players still playing ball in the Independent Leagues.
 
Both are doing well:
 
Tim Hutting (Hart-1999):
 
Tim is again playing for the Sioux Falls Canaries.
Last year Tim led the same Canaries to the American Association championship and he is hitting .311 this year:
 
Nick Enciso (Hart-2001):
 
Nick is once again in the Continental Independent League.
This year he is with a more stable team, the Alexandria Aces and leads his team in homers with 2 which is also 2nd in the  League and is hitting .304.

Jamie Shields (Hart-2000)
 
Jamie took the loss Tuesday against the Angels.
 
Jamie went 6.1 Innings gave up 4 runs (2 Earned), 10 hits struck out 3 and issued NO ("0") Walks, on 93 pitches in a 4-3 Loss. He is now 5-5

Jeff Icenogle (Hart-2002)
 
 
Jeff pitched 2 scoreless innings on June 9 for the Lancaster JetHawks vs Inland Empire.

New Look on Hart Stats Main Page:
 
I have made a minor modification on my Home (Index) Page on the Hart Baseball Stats:
 
I noted that all the Search Engines show the first 2 Lines of all Home Pages. Since my 2nd Line as a "Dash" line #-----# and my 3rd Line is
"Hart Historical Stats Book 1948-2009"
 
Google and Bing etc showed:
HART Baseball Stats Main Page
#-----#
 
Since the next line was "Links"
I decided to delete the "#-----#" Line I decided to Swap the "Links" for
"Hart Historical Stats Book 1948-2009"
 
It might take a while for the Search Engines to "Re Crawl" my site but they will eventually and hopefully the first 2 lines are more meaningful.
 
In the meantime I notice the new Microsoft Search Engine called "Bing" will show about 5 or 6 lines in a "Pop Up" when you hover your Mouse to the right of the suggested Web Page.
My main complaint about Search Engines is they don't show the "Date" of Publication of any article.
There is a way for Google to show the Date but you have to jump through a lot of Hoops every time you search, the feature is "not Sticky" (I don't think).
 
############### ###############
New Stat in Historical and Hart Individual Player Career, Season and Game Pages.
 
Ever wonder how I check for the top 10 or so Season Records for any player in all the Stat Categories.
I keep them in a "Raw" type of file that is easily sortable (by me).
Here is the New Batting Seasonal Stats 1987 thru 2009 sorted each season by Batting Average.
 
Here is the New Pitching Seasonal Stats 1988 thru 2009 sorted each season by Pitching WHIP (Walks + Hits divided by Innings Pitched).
