Spotlight on Tenn Hitters

The Spotlight series will take a look at the career of each active manager in the league.

Tenn Hitters (Tommy Coleman) aka M-Town Bats is a charter member and co-founder of Hardball Heaven. Along with Halfway Hardballers, he was determined to create a better kind of fantasy baseball league. Randy helped introduce Tommy to computers, Tommy in turn introduced Randy to fantasy sports and the 2 have played together ever since. Tommy plays all types of fantasy sports but none hold the place in his heart that this league does. He plays to win every week and works his lineups religiously.

Tommy resides in Portland, Tenn with his wife. He has enjoyed a very long career in retail management. He is a fan of the Atlanta Braves and his favorite player is Charlie Hustle himself, Pete Rose.

Tommy suits up every season prepared to take on all comers. Though he has had some disappointing seasons he remains relentless in his pursuit of a league crown. Here is a look at his career thus far.

2005 was certainly the highpoint for Hitters, finishing 3rd in both the regular season and the playoffs. Contrary to his record, Hitters is always a team to be wary off when playing. As his name implies he always seems to come up with a good hitting squad. Sometimes it seems he is also the king of the bad break.

Looking at his H-2-H results it is clear that Tommy has a few nemesis that he is going to have to overcome. But then there are the teams that he seems to dominate as well.

Tommy will regroup, recharge and relentlessly strive to reverse the trend of the last few seasons. Losing does not sit well with him.

Will this finally be a year for a few breaks to finally go his way? If so we better all watch out!
