After taking out Huntley in 5 in the Division Series, the Utah Stingers finished the job, defeating the Pistol Pete Cowboys in 6 and the Murphy BRMest 1985 in a sweep to win the 2055 P455 Perfect League championship. The Stingers now have an Iron, a Bronze, 2 Silver, a Gold, a Diamond, and 4 Perfect championships. Again, a friendly suggestion to team owner norton: the Utah Medallions. Think about it!

Huntley represented well in the postseason awards. The Red Raiders actually won more Great Gloves (2) than Platinum Sticks (1), which has to be a first in team history (and speaks to what the unexpected weakness of the team was!); SS Ozzie Smith (4.36 RF, +14.6 ZR, 1.070 EFF) and CF Ken Griffey Jr (3.03 RF, +14.1 ZR, 1.049 EFF) took home the Great Gloves, and surprisingly, the Platinum Stick also went to Ozzie (.287/.362/.396, 18 SB, 112 wRC+, 5.4 WAR). So, all in all, a successful debut for the Wizard of Oz in Red Raiders garb.

Ironically, the man most responsible for the Division Series defeat, Mariano Rivera (losses in games 2 and 5), took home the AC Reliever of the Year Award, based on his league-leading 47 saves, 1.91 ERA, 222 ERA+, and 2.3 WAR. And Rube Waddell, whose 1.2-IP, 5-ER meltdown in game 1 got the Division Series off to an awful start, claimed the AC Pitcher of the Year Award (20-7, 2.47 ERA, 222 K, 0.2 HR/9, 10.0 K/9, 172 ERA+, 7.0 WAR). Reflective of the season as a whole, the best the Red Raiders placed in the AC MVP Award was third (Mickey Mantle, .291/.389/.486, 140 OPS+, 5.6 WAR), with Waddell the only other top-10 finisher (10th).

Congrats to all the 2055 champions (especially waittilnextyear, whose 6 next to his PL medallion does not make Huntley's 5 envious; nope, not at all), and good luck next season!
