Stars Place Three Players on Year-end All-Star Team
August 28, 2003 - Southern League (SL1)
Huntsville Stars News Release
Huntsville, AL â The Huntsville Stars placed three players on the 2003 Southern League Year-end All-Star Team, as announced today by the league office. Third baseman Corey Hart, shortstop J.J. Hardy and centerfielder Dave Krynzel were selected to the team. Only Mobile matched the Stars in placing a league-high three players on the squad. The year-end all-stars were chosen in a poll of the league's field managers, radio broadcasters and print media.
Each one of the Stars' outstanding trio is among the top 10 prospects in the Milwaukee Brewers' minor league system, and all three players were also starters on the Southern League Western Division All-Star team at mid-season. Together, Hart and Krynzel lead or share the lead in five significant offensive categories. Hart, a league MVP candidate, paces the circuit in runs batted in (88), hits (142), and doubles (36). Hart is also sixth in batting average (.301) and third in extra-base hits (49). Krynzel leads in triples (10) and shares the lead in stolen bases (42). Hardy, like Krynzel a U.S. starter in this year's All-Star Futures Game in Chicago, boasts a .282 average with 25 doubles, 12 homeruns and 62 runs batted in.
The first-half champion Stars conclude their regular season home schedule tonight at Joe Davis Stadium. In the finale of four-game series, Stars lefty Jeff Housman (3-2, 3.57) meets Birmingham right-hander Enemencio Pacheco (12-2, 2.64). Game time is 5:05 p.m. at Joe Davis Stadium, with Out of Eden performing in concert after the game.
Huntsville returns home for Games 1 and 2 of the Western Division Championship Series against the Barons on September 3rd and 4th. Game time each night 6:05 p.m. Game one will have a fireworks show following the game, courtesy of Woody Anderson Ford, and game two features a Stars t-shirt giveaway for the first 1200 fans through the gate. For tickets, call the Stars at (256) 882-2562 or stop by the office at Joe Davis Stadium.
