Siegfried and Turi Win Again, Named MVPs
Rookie hurlers reigned supreme in the IPA this year. Danny Siegfried of Eastshore and Harald Turi of Bayview won all of the awards this season. Each of them won the Rookie of the Year, the Golden Arm and now the leagues' Most Valuable Player honors. This has only happened one time before in the IPA. Frank Kostro of the Hartsdale Hellcats captured all three trophies in 2003.

In his first IPA season, the 36-year old Siegfried had an unimaginable year, leading an unheralded Eastshore club to the pennant after many years of frustration and failure. Siegfried and Turi tied for the most wins in the IPA. Siegfried was 26-8 with a 2.25 ERA, while Turi was even better with a 26-4 mark and a 2.19 ERA.

Siegfried, the Ruthlandian MVP, got the best of two outstanding veteran players. He outpolled Volusia's gifted center fielder and Golden Bat winner, Joe DeLucca, who led the RU and IPA with a .377 batting average. DeLucca rapped 36 homers, batted in 118 runs and led the IPA with 146 runs. Volusia finished a very close third in the RU West, won by Eastshore. The Vigilantes missed the playoffs by only one and a half games. Far Mountain's fine Gold Glove shortstop Don Nichols was third in the vote. Nichols hit .327 with 27 home runs, 104 RBIs and scored 121 times to lead the Redhawks to the RU North flag and into the playoffs.

Two outstanding batters challenged Turi for the Tycobbian Union MVP. Ozarka's talented third baseman Andre Dumas was second in the poll. Dumas had 45 roundtrippers this season, along with 123 RBIs, 114 runs, while hitting a .359 pace. Turon's tremendous first baseman Clyde Kingsford was rated third. Kingsford put up a .326 batting average with 40 homers, 141 RBIs and scored 119 times. He paced the TU in RBIs. Kingsford was the TU's Most Valuable Player a year ago. The Naturals and the Typhoons won their divisions and made the Pro Cup playoffs this year.
