Through nearly three full decades, the Tools "All Bill" Rotation dominated the league and led to hundreds of Tools victories.  Lefty Bill Anhut, a team co-founder, played from 1981-1992, 1994-1997 and 1999-2008 and righty Bill Kreykenbohm played from 1981-2007.

One of our most clutch hitters, Joe Lombardo was tough in playoffs and tourneys -- third with .627 batting average and .692 on base average, second with 25 home runs, fourth with 289 total bases, fifth with 112 RBI and sixth with 109 runs.  In regular seasons, he is ninth all time with a .565 batting average.  On July 1, 2002, Joe's line drive walk-off hit to left with two outs capped a last ditch five run comeback that won our first spring league title

The most awesome streak of consecutive hits was by Mark Bultman, the Tools great first baseman from 1999-2009.  In an Arlington Early Bird Tournament that we won, from April 10-15, 2007, Mark had hits in 19 consecutive at bats and reached base 24 times in a row.  During this streak, he had 16 RBI and scored 17 runs.
