SFL Teams of the 1980s

I thought it would be fun (for me, anyway) to put together 10-player teams for each SFL season, based on who got the most playing time. I tried to organize it by position, with some help from Hav, Gil, and Tony, though some of this is just our best guess. In the event that two players were tied for the last spot, a DH position was added. If anyone in the know spots any awful mistakes, please leave a comment below.

1983:
P-- Paula Gannon, C-- Lee Lowenfish, 1B-- Les Taub, 2B-- David Air, 3B-- Tony Connor, SS-- Bill Weinberg, LF-- Bob Morgens, CF-- Rudy Hirsch, OF-- Dave Metzger, RF-- Jose Balento.

1984:
P-- Lee Lowenfish, C-- Dave Rosengard, 1B-- Les Taub, 2B-- Havelock Hewes, 3B-- Rich Rowlands, SS-- John Decker, LF-- Tony Connor, CF-- Stu Hackel, OF-- Dave Metzger, RF-- Jose Balento.

I always thought of who would have the best teams of all these decades of sfloi .... I know for sure that this era of softball is much better and stronger than those of the 8os and 90s ...lol to bad we cant go back in time to see... now that you did the 80s lets see who was the best teams out there in the 90s and 2000 and 2010 and we are working on 2020? Dagame is asking?
