Stats plus

Really nice stats on this matchup. Both guys within a few pct. points here and there of actual achievements.

Award winners:
Gold Gloves split evenly ... 4-4.
Reliever of the year to Pedro Martinez of the Otts. I like this a lot, because the game decided to use Pedro as a closer. Although delving into the numbers, he won on the basis of saves (18 in 21), despite Thome hitting a robust .496 on balls in play. The 125 Ks in 61.1 innings didn't hurt, either.

Cy Young continues his unbroken streak of never being close to a Cy Young Award. That was a flat out tie between two Thumpers: Clayton Kershaw (12-11, 5.34 ERA) and Toad Ramsey (15-5, 5.42 ERA). The two Cys were a combined 7-9 with a 14.40 ERA.

MVP -- just ahead of the Thumpers' Toad -- was CF Mel Ott, who led the league in batting at .348 and was second in HR with 48. He also led the league in SLG, OPS, WAR, and the "speed" categories with four triples and four steals. Good choice.

So with that we'll say so long to Jim Thome and see ya later to Mel Ott, who moves on to face the winner of our next matchup, No. 5 Mickey Mantle v. NO. 12 seed Frank Thomas.
