In 1982 the first game of the first pro women's basketball league was formed. Frosty was a minority owner and it's first commissioner. It had four teams its first year and starred the top collage players at the time. It only lasted two years, it did not have the financial backing that later came with the WNBA.

FINIAL LONG BALL STANDINGS FOR 2009
A. Pujols just held on to win the 2009 HOME RUN title. No one made the 50 homers club, let alone the 60 Homers Club. The preseason favorit R. Howard was going the strongest in the last 30 days to finish 3rd with 45 homers.
With 35 each M. Jones and J. Gaston finished on top of the minors.
