Koyie Hill Appreciation Society: 60 Hits, but a Whole Lotta Heart
Well kids, it's time to bid adieu to the Koyie Hill Appreciation Society for 2009. As you know, for every hit Koyie Hill delivered in 2009, I removed a section from this picture:Koyie finishes the year with 60 hits and a .237 average in 83 games. L...
