P420: The Armada Leave All Others in Their Wake
With a 4-0 sweep of the Seattle Mac, the Amsterdam Armada complete a banner year by conquering P420 and earning a superscript 4 next to their Perfect League medallion.
For such a dominant regular season, Huntley's postseason award haul was light; C Yogi Berra (.271/.325/.408, 102 wRC+, 2.4 WAR), 3B George Brett (.293/.336/.513, 26 HR, 122 RBI, 129 wRC+, 5.3 WAR), and SS Luke Appling (.290/.394/.416, 130 wRC+, 4.9 WAR) earned their fourth, sixth, and fourteenth Platinum Sticks, respectively, and that was it. Ed Walsh (21-4, 2.12 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 201 ERA+, 6.9 WAR) earned 3 first-place votes for the AC Pitcher of the Year, finishing second to Amsterdam's Cy Young, and Brett, Mickey Mantle (.287/.387/.496, 21 HR, 82 RBI, 143 OPS+, 5.4 WAR), and Walsh finished in the top 10 in Player of the Year Award voting, won by the Blue Farm Bombers' Babe Ruth.
Congrats to all 2053 champions! On to 2054!
