The Reds mourn the death of Vern Ruhle, who died January 20, 2007 of complications from a donor stem cell transplant for the treatment of multiple myeloma. He is survived by his wife Sue, daughter Rebecca and son Kenny. The Major League club’s pitching coach in 2005, Vern missed the 2006 campaign while receiving treatments for the cancer. In 2007 he had been assigned to work as the organization’s pitching rehabilitation coordinator at its minor league complex in Sarasota, Florida. Said the club in a statement, “The baseball and Cincinnati Reds families mourn the loss of an excellent coach, wonderful husband and loving father. In his 35 years in professional and collegiate baseball, Vern touched many people inside and outside the game. We

are privileged to have been a part of his life. He will be greatly missed.”

2006 Minor League All-Star Selections

At 75-68, the Bats finished in third place in the International League’s West Division, 1.5 games behind first-place Indianapolis (Pirates) and Toledo (Tigers). It was their first winning record since 2003 (79-64). Their 22 victories in June set a franchise record for wins in any month and snapped a 10-month losing streak. Their .270 team average was tops in the IL. OF Norris Hopper was named the team’s Most Valuable Player. He won the International League batting title with a franchise-record .347 batting average, beating out Toledo’s Josh Phelps by 39 points. He became the first player to win an IL batting title by 30 or more points since 1970. Hopper became the first Louisville outfielder selected to the International League post-season All-Star team since Raul Gonzalez in 2002. OF Chris Denorfia was the Bats’ lone representative in the Triple-A All-Star game. He started in CF and went 1-for-3 with 2 runs scored. Because of 4 stints with the Reds in Cincinnati, Denorfia fell 29 plate appearances shy of qualifying for the league batting title. His .349 average would have edged out Hopper. The Bats led the International League in attendance for the seventh straight season, averaging 9,193 fans per game at Louisville Slugger Field (652,692).

The Billings Mustangs went 51-25 and won both halves of the Pioneer League season for the first time since 1995. Their 51 wins were the most since 1992. Despite their regular-season success, the Mustangs fell in the first round of the PL playoffs as they were swept by Missoula (D’Backs) in a best-of-3 series. SS Chris Valaika was named Pioneer League MVP after hitting .324 with 8 HR and 60 RBI. Valaika set a new Pioneer League record by hitting safely in 32 straight games (.374, 49-for-131). OF Danny Dorn won the Pioneer League batting title with a .354 batting average. He’s the first Mustang to win the batting crown since Randy Ruiz in 2000. Dorn’s teammates, 2b Justin Turner (T3rd, .338) and 1b Logan Parker (8th, .329), also finished among the league’s top hitters. Parker led the club with 9 HR. RHP Anthony Gressick and RHP Jordan Smith tied for the team and league lead with 6 wins each. The Mustangs ranked first in the Pioneer League with a .288 team batting average.
