Brooks
I have been looking for the character of Brooks in real life stats and can't find him. Is he a purely fictional character?

Brooks was Steve Cox, but Disney did'nt want to pay Steve any money so they had to use a actor that did'nt look like him (hence the reason for using a black actor)
his stats are here http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/player.php?p=coxst01
Cox played 378 gms for TB from 99-02 hitting .262 with 39 HR in 1239 AB's
shareCox was a bright prospect that turned out to be a mediocre/spare big leaguer as so many do.
shareThere are a lot of teams that would like a left handed hitter with some pop who could play 1st and the corners of the outfield. He went on to play in Japan.
This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.
