STONICH SURPRISE TYCOBBIAN MVP
Teddy Stonich had a magnificent season... the 25-year-old first sacker led the Islandian Pro Alliance with a .369 batting average... he also led the IPA with 229 hits and 45 doubles, while playing 153 games... Stonich came in second with 132 RBIs, second in runs scored with 127 and number four with 49 roundtrippers... but he came in second in the Tycobbian Union Golden Bat voting... losing out to Showboat Lynn of the Oxford Red Caps... however, things went his way in the TU Most Valuable Player competition... the baseball scribes and broadcasters said it was Stonich, who deserved the trophy... he sparked his Reds to second place in the TU West... they fell just one game short of the pennant.

It was a very close vote, just like the one won by Showboat Lynn in the TU Golden Bat this year... Lynn also had a monstrous year with a .344 BA in 146 games, fifth best in the IPA... he has the most homers with 59, the most RBIs with 144 and scored the most runs with 146... but when it was all said and done, he came in second to Stonich for the MVP honor... Oxford easily won the TU North pennant... both were worthy choices.

Closer Pat McFarlane of the Oxford Red Caps also enjoyed a super season... he set a new IPA mark for the most saves in a season with 43, compiled a 6-2 record with 1.49 ERA in 58 games... he also came in third in the TU Golden Arm race... the bullpen ace also came in third in the Most Valuable Player vote... he, along with teammates Showboat Lynn and Buddy Blackford, led the Red Caps to one of their best seasons ever... they ran away with the division flag in the TU North, winning by 11 games.
