His face might be sunbaked after all the years he’s invested in this game, but 36-year-old Joel Elvàviel of the Dead Marshes Uruk-hai is still playing a kid’s game — and getting paid for it. The veteran shortstop had a tremendous week and was named the Mordor Conference Player of the Week.
Elvàviel drilled 8 hits in 18 at-bats and 5 home runs on his way to posting a .444 average. He also knocked in 10 runs and scored 6 times.
So far this season, Elvàviel has recorded a .292 batting average with 77 hits, 24 home runs, 44 RBIs, 66 runs scored and a .411 OBP.
