SV'S GAMBLE GETS 4TH RU MVP TROPHY
Bobby Gamble's trophy case must really be getting overcrowded. The superlative superstar added his fourth Ruthlandian Most Valuable Player trophy to his huge collection. At age 31, the Sugar Valley center fielder outpaced his Golden Bat contenders, Nioka Inkamara of Wynnamac and Noel Martin of Belle Plaine in a heated vote. Martin, the RU batting champ, had already captured the RU Golden Bat Award. Inkamara came in third in that competition. This is the second year in a row that Gamble has been named the most valuable player in the RU.

Gamble, the remarkable Rattler outfielder, had another phenomenal season with a .348 BA, 39 doubles, 5 triples, 43 home runs, 106 RBIs and scored 133 runs. He led the IPA with 133 runs and ranked fifth in batting average and eighth in doubles and roundtrippers. The talented slugger led Sugar Valley to a wonderful season. They put up 96 victories, but still lost in a three-way playoff to Wynnamac in the super-close Ruthlandian East pennant chase. In his 12 seasons with the Rattlers, Gamble has 416 homers and a .320 BA.

Wynnamac's standout Nioka Inkamara was runner-up for this year's Most Valuable Player trophy. He is a past MVP and Golden Bat winner. The 27-year-old outfielder won them both in 2042 and was also the 2042 Golden Bat recipient. Inkamara sparked the Sundowners to the RU East Division title this year with a .321 batting average in 144 games and finished with 32 doubles, 8 triples, 40 home runs, 131 RBIs and 114 runs. Inkamara was third in the IPA in RBIs and sixth in run scored.

This was a career year for Belle Plaine outfielder Noel Martin. At age 39, he hit .354 with 31 doubles and 35 home runs, driving in 121 runs and scoring 112. Those numbers got him this season's Ruthlandian Golden Bat. However, the lowly Musketeers, still wound up seventh in the RU East.

STALLION ACE MURPHY MVP PICK IN TU
This has been a spectacular season for Jay Murphy, ace of the South Fork Stallions. He was a double-award winner, not only was he honored with the Tycobbian Golden Arm trophy, the 29-year-old right-hander was also gifted with the much-coveted Most Valuable Player Award. Murphy outdueled Kenwood's fine Tommy Carter for the trophy with Golden Bat honoree Wayman Stetson coming in third in The Islandian Times poll.

Murphy ranked first in the IPA with 27 wins and propelled South Fork to a second-place finish in the Tycobbian East. The Stallions missed out on the division flag by just two games. Murphy was 27-8 with a 2.58 ERA. The South Fork fireballer fanned 254 in his 292 innings, ranking fourth in the TU in strikeouts.

The Kenwood Wilcats claimed the Tycobbian West for the third time in the last four years and Tommy Carter played a huge role in it with a 26-8 mark with a superb 2.47 ERA. In addition to ranking second in the MVP category, Carter also came in second in the Tycobbian Golden Arm voting. The 26-year-old was second in the IPA with 26 victories.

After being chosen for the Tycobbian Golden Bat Award, Denton City's fantastic Wayman Stetson was the third-highest votegetter for MVP. The 27-year-old first baseman led the IPA with 56 home runs, batted .323 and ranked high with 128 RBIs and 112 runs. His Redbirds ended up second in the Tycobbian West, losing out to Kenwood by 7 games. Stetson played in all 154 games this season.
