Quinn Starr Selected Pro Cup MVP
Last year's IPA Pro Cup Most Valuable Player was a star, a real Starr. Same thing this year except it's a different Starr. Last year it was Glynn Starr. This season it's his triplet brother, Quinn Starr, who was picked the best player in the playoffs. Quinn edged out RF Danny Redd and his brother Glynn to capture the prestigious award this year. Last year Quinn was third in the balloting. Even the other triplet Lynn got some votes this year in The Islandian Times Pro Cup poll, along with CF Jim Garrison and 3B Koora Nawajuk.
Quinn Starr was unbeaten in the playoffs for the second straight season with a 5-0 record. Starr compiled a fine 2.85 ERA against the best teams in the IPA. Last year Starr was 4-0 with a superb 2.37 ERA. During the regular season Starr was only 17-17, but had a sparkling 2.61 ERA. In his three years in the IPA, the 26-year-old Starr is 57-45 with a 2.60 ERA.
Danny Redd was another vital ingredient in the Blue Jays repeat win in the Pro Cup. Redd topped the Tuckanarra attack with a .383 batting average, 2 homers, 13 RBIs and 13 runs scored in 16 games. The 30-year-old right fielder Redd batted .274 in the season with 117 runs scored and 55 RBIs. Glynn Starr wound up a close third in the balloting as he compiled a 5-1 mark with a fine 2.96 ERA. Glynn posted a 19-12 regular-season record.
Rounding out the votegetters were three more Blue Jays: 1B Lynn Starr, who batted .359 with 4 home runs, 10 RBIs and 16 runs. Starr was a .342 hitter in the regular campaign with 29 homers and 104 RBIs, center fielder Jim Garrison with a .364 mark, 11 RBIs, 13 runs and 4 thefts and 3B Koora Nawajuk with a .333 BA, 1 HR, 16 RBIs, 14 runs and 8 stolen bases.
