The peripatetic (ie. well-travelled) Frenette lent his bat and solid hot corner play to four different teams over a 16 year journey through the CRBL.

In his first three years he was part of the Lumberjacks success as they snared one Northern Division crown and appeared in the WBA tournament each year. After three more years with the Lakers, he blossomed in his sole season with the Loggers as he gained recognition as the All-CRBL third sacker. His play was a big part of the team’s 13-5 record and a place in the WBA tournament at season’s end.

After seven years with “L” teams, Netter found a home that fit him to a “T.” Holding down the third base hot zone, he became a key component of the Tiger’s 118-43 record during his tenure. His nine years spanned a dominant era for Tilden as they won seven division flags and CRBL pennants in 2002 and 2007. Additionally, they reached the WBAs in each of his seasons, taking runner-up honors once and winning it all in 2004.

Among his personal accomplishments were his capturing of his second All-CRBL third base trophy in 2007. In all, he gleaned five all-star selections to go with his other honors.

Netter’s final numbers show up in several league top-50 categories as he is inducted. Tied for 45th in games played, his 787 at bats rank 49th. He was particularly impressive in power categories, placing 47th in total bases, 46th in slugging percentage, 39th in RBIs, and tied for 24th in home runs
