PENNANT RACES:
The Washington League this year saw 2 runaway division winners and 2 very tight races.
Orem in the East and Brooklyn out West both won their divisions easily. Orem lost a few to close out the season, otherwise they also would have clinched by double digits. The Owlz will be making their 5th trip to the playoffs and have won the division 2 seasons in a row now. Brooklyn is the defending champs and won their 4th pennant this season.
And for the tighter races, the Central and the wildcard. The Central race was between Jupiter and Yakima and those 2 were also involved in the wildcard hunt with Idaho Falls & Missoula from the East. Jupiter closed out the year winning their last 4 to clinch their 4th straight Central crown. And by virtue of Idaho Falls losing to Billings to end the season, Yakima backed into the playoffs as the wildcard team, their 2nd ever trip to the post-season and 1st since 1903.

PENNANT RACES:
Like the WL, the Lincoln League had a few races go right until the end, and 1 needed an extra game to be decided.
Vermont was the only early clincher in the LL, running away in the Central, their 3rd division title in the last 5 years.
In the East, Hudson Valley clinched on the last game of the season by beating 2nd place Batavia for the 3rd day in a row, making a dramatic comeback to win the pennant in the last series of the season. The win gives the Renegades 5 of the last 6 East titles.
Finally, the West needed a 101st game to decide who was the division winner and who was the LL wildcard team. Both Lakewood & Asheville knew there were making the playoffs, but the Blueclaws' 4-1 win in a playoff game won their 2nd straight West pennant and 3rd in their history. Asheville though again made the playoffs for a record 8th straight season. This is their 3rd consecutive wildcard berth and have won the pennant 4 times and 4 wildcard apperances in their history.

1908 PLAYOFFS
WILDCARD:
Not alot of competition in the wildcard series as all 4 were decided quickly in sweeps.
The Washington League saw Yakima and Jupiter knock out Orem & defending champ Brooklyn respectively and the LL saw Vermont take out Asheville and defending LLCS champions Hudson Valley eliminate Lakewood.

LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP:
The 2 LCS were different tales entirely. The LLCS had Hudson Valley sweep Vermont 3-0, outscoring the Lake Mosters 19-4 in the 3 game series. The Renegades will be making their 2nd straight trip to the IRL World Series and look to avenge last year's loss to Brooklyn. In the series, Alejandro Monterola led the way, winning series MVP while driving in 6 runs and scoring 3 himself and hitting .333 for the series.
Now the WLCS was a different story indeed. Jupiter jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the series, but could do nothing to stop Yakima from coming all the way back, winning the next 3, and earning their first trip to the IRL World Series with a 3-2 series win. Nap Rucker was named series MVP depite only pitching in 1 game in the series. But it seemed like his 1 hit/complete game shutout in game 3 turned things around for the Bears and propelled them to the comeback and series win.

ROOKIE LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP:
"REVENGE IS SWEET, HUDSON VALLEY WINS 2ND TITLE"
Coming oh so close last season, Hudson Valley lost to Brooklyn in 7 games and vowed they would be back this year. Living up to that promise, the Renegades beat Yakima 4-1 in the championship to win the IRL title. Over the past 4 seasons, they have been the class of the league, winning the IRL Championship this year and in 1905 and making it to the series last year. They also became only the 2nd team in league history with multiple championships, joining Ogden. SP Ramiro Montelongo was named series MVP, going 2-0 in his 2 starts and allowing 3 er in his 14 ip while stiking out 13.

AWARD WINNERS

WASHINGTON LEAGUE
MVP AWARD - LF Preston Rothrock (Yakima Bears)
- 22yo / USA - IRL MVP Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 86 g - 305 ab - .387 avg - 18 hr - 74 rbi - 56 r - 0 sb - 1.118 ops
- Career Stats: 86 g - 305 ab - .387 avg - 18 hr - 74 rbi - 56 r - 0 sb - 1.118 ops (minors/1 yr)
86 g - 305 ab - .387 avg - 18 hr - 74 rbi - 56 r - 0 sb - 1.118 ops (career/1 yr)
- Overview: A runaway winner, Rothrock set a new league record with his .387 avg for the season. An 8th rd pick in the last draft, no one could have predicted this type of success for Preston, who turned out to be a pleasant surprise for Oakland. He also lead all of the IRL in OPS & Vorp and was 3rd in the WL in HR & 2nd in RBI.

CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Del Mason (Orem Owlz)
- 24yo / USA - IRL CY YOUNG Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 21 g - 21 gs - 16-3 rec - 0 sv - 2.37 era - 171.0 ip - 50 bb - 59 k - 1.16 whip
- Career Stats: 43 g - 43 gs - 29-11 rec - 0 sv - 2.84 era - 345.2 ip - 81 bb - 144 k - 1.25 whip (minors/2 yrs)
43 g - 43 gs - 29-11 rec - 0 sv - 2.84 era - 345.2 ip - 81 bb - 144 k - 1.25 whip (career/2 yrs)
- Overview: The last pick in the 1st rd of the 1906 draft, Mason had a decent year last year as a rookie, but really exploded this season for Orem. Leading the WL in the triple crown categories of ERA, Wins & Vorp, he was the easy choice for the award.

GOLD GLOVE AWARDS:
P - Nick Maddox (Missoula Osprey) - IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1
C - Joe Neblina (Aberdeen Ironbirds) - IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1
1b - Alan Storke (Hagerstown Suns) - IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1

LINCOLN LEAGUE
MVP AWARD - LF Hector Mana (West Virginia Power)
- 25yo / USA - IRL MVP Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 91 g - 344 ab - .297 avg - 11 hr - 52 rbi - 48 r - 1 sb - .885 ops
- Career Stats: 91 g - 344 ab - .297 avg - 11 hr - 52 rbi - 48 r - 1 sb - .885 ops (minors/1 yr)
106 g - 383 ab - .311 avg - 14 hr - 60 rbi - 57 r - 1 sb - .942 ops (career/1 yr)
- Overview: Wha wha what??? Mana stole this award somehow. 5th best Vorp, no where to be found on the Avg, HR or RBI leaderboards, I am in shock. The 7th rd pick of the Cards really wasn't even in consideration yet somehow was named MVP. Really not sure what the game was looking at when making this choice.

CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Ed Willett (Lakewood Blueclaws)
- 24yo / USA - IRL CY YOUNG Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 23 g - 23 gs - 17-4 rec - 0 sv - 1.81 era - 194.1 ip - 25 bb - 104 k - 0.97 whip
- Career Stats: 23 g - 23 gs - 17-4 rec - 0 sv - 1.81 era - 194.1 ip - 25 bb - 104 k - 0.97 whip (minors/1 yr)
23 g - 23 gs - 17-4 rec - 0 sv - 1.81 era - 194.1 ip - 25 bb - 104 k - 0.97 whip (career/1 yr)
- Overview: The Pittsburgh Pirates look like they have a bright future in their rotation as Willett joins Bobby Keefe last year as Cy Young winners from Lakewood, Pittsburgh's minor league team. Where Mason led the WL in wins, era & vorp, Willett did it in the entire league as well as the best Whip, truly dominating as the league's top hurler this season after being taking 20th in the last draft.

This is their 1st pennant since their 3 straight championship seasons from 1903 to 1905.

PENNANT RACES:
Chunichi was able to hold off a late charge by Yakult, who cut the Dragons lead from 6 with a week left to 2 at season's end. Chunichi thought they were coasting to to a 2nd straight Central league title, but after the Swallows made things interesting, they finished strong winning their last 2 to secure the pennant and a chance to avenge last year's loss in the *** Championship.

1908 PLAYOFFS
NIPPON LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP:
"TOHOKU BACK ON TOP"
Tohoku was the only dynasty in league history, winning 3 straight championships from 1903 to 1905, the only extended stretch like that in league history. 3 years later, the Ninjas are back on top of the *** by defeating Chunichi 4 games to 1, a 2nd straight loss in the championship series for the Dragon. As now, they only 4-time champ, Tohoku clearly is the best team in the early history of the league. Glenn Bowers was named series MVP for Tohoku, going 11 for 24 in the series, including 1 hr, 5 rbi & 4 runs scored.

AWARD WINNERS

PACIFIC LEAGUE
MVP AWARD - 1b Noboru Urogataya (Tohoku Rakuten Ninjas)
- 24yo / Japan - *** MVP Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 143 g - 566 ab - .318 avg - 31 hr - 104 rbi - 86 r - 1 sb - .955 ops
- Career Stats: 262 g - 848 ab - .315 avg - 42 hr - 141 rbi - 126 r - 1 sb - .937 ops (int/3 yrs)
262 g - 848 ab - .315 avg - 42 hr - 141 rbi - 126 r - 1 sb - .937 ops (career/3 yrs)
- Overview: A 2nd rd pick in the 1903 draft, Urogataya was called up to the active roster midway thru last year and showed alot of promise in the last 90 games of the year. He entered this season as Tohoku's starting 1b, but even the Ninjas were surprised at how well he did. Leading the league in OPS & the PL's only 100 rbi man, he was the premier run producer and power hitter in the league. He also had the 4th best Avg, 2nd most HR & 2nd best Vorp proving he wasn't just a slugger but a solid all around hitter.

CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Christy "Big Six" Mathewson (Tohoku Rakuten Ninjas)
- 28yo / USA - *** CY YOUNG Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 30 g - 30 gs - 19-4 rec - 0 sv - 2.05 era - 214.2 ip - 16 bb - 216 k - 0.77 whip
- Career Stats: 194 g - 194 gs - 87-61 rec - 0 sv - 2.71 era - 1332.1 ip - 143 bb - 1210 k - 0.98 whip (int/7 yrs)
201 g - 201 gs - 90-63 rec - 0 sv - 2.68 era - 1380.2 ip - 154 bb - 1243 k - 0.98 whip (career/8 yrs)
- Overview: With all the talent to be the best pitcher in all of baseball, it is rather shocking that this is Mathewson's 1st Cy Young award. He has had many other solid seasons, but no dominant ones like he did this year. Leading all of Japan in ERA, Opp Avg, Whip & a ridiculous K/BB ratio, he was pretty much untouchable this season. And with a career best 19 wins, he won his 1st Cy Young award. Sadly though, he injured his back in his last start of the season, missed the championship run by Tohoku, and will be out for 10 months, missing a good portion of next year.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - LF Hidetada Suzuki (Seibu Lions)
- 26yo / Japan - *** ROY Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 136 g - 522 ab - .322 avg - 14 hr - 78 rbi - 82 r - 0 sb - .866 ops
- Career Stats: 136 g - 522 ab - .322 avg - 14 hr - 78 rbi - 82 r - 0 sb - .866 ops (int/1 yr)
136 g - 522 ab - .322 avg - 14 hr - 78 rbi - 82 r - 0 sb - .866 ops (career/1 yr)
- Overview: A 1st rd pick in 1904, Suzuki spent a few seasons on Seibu's reserve roster, finally cracking the active 25 this year as the starting leftfielder. It looks like he was well worth the wait as Suzuki was easily the most productive rookie in all of Japan. Leading all rookies in Avg, OPS, Vorp & runs scored, while leading the PL in HR & RBI as well, he had a huge 1st season and was rightfully named the league's top rookie.

MVP AWARD - 3b Kunisada Hashimoto (Chunichi Dragon)
- 26yo / Japan - *** MVP Awards: 2
- Season Stats: 137 g - 537 ab - .387 avg - 17 hr - 81 rbi - 91 r - 4 sb - 1.019 ops
- Career Stats: 583 g - 2216 ab - .333 avg - 60 hr - 289 rbi - 349 r - 17 sb - .879 ops (int/6 yrs)
583 g - 2216 ab - .333 avg - 60 hr - 289 rbi - 349 r - 17 sb - .879 ops (career/6 yrs)
- Overview: Joining Dave Vodden & Ed Delahanty, Hashimoto becomes the 3rd person to win atleast 2 straight MVP awards, bettering his numbers for his 1st award last year. In putting up the 3rd highest batting avg in a season, he led all of Japan in Avg, OPS & Vorp as more of a table setter in the #3 hole than a run producer.

CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Hiroya Sasaki (Hiroshima Toyo Carp)
- 27yo / Japan - *** CY YOUNG Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 31 g - 31 gs - 15-7 rec - 0 sv - 2.20 era - 208.2 ip - 42 bb - 202 k - 1.10 whip

- Overview: With no dominat pitcher in the Central this year, this was one of the closest votes in Cy Young history with any of 5 different pitchers in the running. Sasaki might have been the best all-around and thus was rewarded with the trophy. Tied for league best in ERA, he was tied for 3rd in Wins, 2nd in Vorp, 4th in K's & 6th in both Whip & Opp Avg. The 1903 1st rd pick is finally emerging as the ace Hiroshima thought he would be after his 3rd season in the league.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - CF Katsunan "Neanderthal" Hirayama (Hanshin Tiger)
- 26yo / Japan - *** ROY Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 135 g - 540 ab - .272 avg - 16 hr - 82 rbi - 77 r - 12 sb - .770 ops
- Career Stats: 166 g - 626 ab - .260 avg - 17 hr - 93 rbi - 83 r - 13 sb - .733 ops (int/3 yrs)
166 g - 626 ab - .260 avg - 17 hr - 93 rbi - 83 r - 13 sb - .733 ops (career/3 yrs)
- Overview: Living up to his nickname, he swung his bat like a caveman clubbing a wounded animal. The 2nd pick in the 1905 draft spent little time in reserves, seeing limited time immediately the next season, but not breaking thru as a starter for Hanshin until this year. Leading all *** rookies in HR & RBI he figures to be a fixture in the heart of the Tiger lineup for years to come, swinging a heavy clublike bat and pounding the ball.

PENNANT RACES:
Nothing really up for grabs in the AL this year, as the closest any of the races was was 8 games for the wildcard. All 4 playoff teams got to rest their starters and set their rotations for the post-season.
Defending champion Boston made a 2nd straight East pennant, their 4th in their history. The Central had 2 teams make it to the playoffs. The White Sox extended their streak to 4 straight division titles and Detroit won the wildcard berth and will be making their 1st trip to the playoffs since 1904.
Finally out West, the Angels had the only 100+ win season in the AL, winning their 3rd straight pennant, 5th in history and 6th playoff berth in 9 years. All without a championship.

PENNANT RACES:
While things were a little closer in the NL, for the most part it mirrored what happened in the American League, with all the playoffs teams clinching rather comfortably.
The Marlins won the East with the only 100+ win season in the league. They will be making only their 2nd trip to the playoffs in their history, and this is their 1st pennant. Atlanta made the playoffs as the wildcard, giving them 7 trips to the post-season in their 9 year history.
Cincinnati's reign over the Central continued as they won their 3rd straight division title. It gives them 5 in their history.
Finally, defending NLCS champs, the Padres, won their 4th consecutive pennant. They hope to avenge last season's loss in the World Series.

1908 PLAYOFFS
WILDCARD:
3 sweeps, 1 series going 4, the 1st rd of the playoffs was rather undramatic.
The 2 favorites in the AL advanced, proving they really were the best teams in the league all year long. Anaheim swept Detroit 3-0 and Chicago did the same to Boston, setting up the ALCS with the 2 best in the league.
In the NL, the East reigned supreme. Florida needed 4 games, but knocked out Cincy and wildcard Atlanta swept the Padres, pitting the division rivals in the NLCS.

LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP:
The ALCS featured an 101 win and 99 win team, and the better team during the season proved to be the better team in the playoffs. The Angels beat the White Sox 4-2 in the series and finally will be playing in the World Series after 5 previous unfulfilling trips to the playoffs. Ace SP Anastasio Garate won series MVP, going 2-0 in his 2 games started. He allowed 5 er in his 2 games and struck out 10 in his 14.2 innings of work.
The NL World Series representative is the wildcard team, as Atlanta beat division rival and favorite Florida rather easily, 4 games to 1. Finishing 7 games behind the Marlins in the regular season didn't matter much to the Braves who outplayed the pennant winners. Bob Childress led the way hitting, going 11 for 23 with 4 rbi & 7 runs scored in the series.

WORLD SERIES:
"ANGELS FINALLY WIN THE TITLE"
Anaheim has been one of the most consistent and best teams in the league since its inception, always a playoff contender and a World Series hopeful. Yet until this season, they have never been able to end the season with a win and a pop of the champagne bottle. Down 3-2 to Atlanta, Anaheim used their home field advantage to come back, win games 6 & 7 and finally get the rally monkey off their backs and win the elusive World Series title.
2-time MVP Jorge Balcorta, who at 37 doesn't have many years left in him, put on a show for the ages. Hitting nearly .400 in the series, he hit 3 hrs, stole 3 bases, drove in 9 and scored 10 times. One of the most clutch performances ever in World Series history.

AWARD WINNERS

AMERICAN LEAGUE

1370 g - 4962 ab - .339 avg - 286 hr - 992 rbi - 1019 r - 39 sb - 1.065 ops (career/9 yrs)
- Overview: Blah blah blah 5th straight MVP...blah blah blah 7th in 9 yr history of league...blah blah blah Greatest player ever...blah blah

CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Anastasio Garate (Anaheim Angels)
- 28yo / USA - MLB CY YOUNG Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 35 g - 35 gs - 21-11 rec - 0 sv - 3.41 era - 284.2 ip - 53 bb - 202 k - 1.18 whip
- Career Stats: 303 g - 303 gs - 143-118 rec - 0 sv - 3.74 era - 2349.0 ip - 413 bb - 1779 k - 1.23 whip (majors/9 yrs)

- Overview: Bit of a surprise here. Yes, Garate was the only 20+ game winner in the AL, but Doc White had a full run better ERA, higher Vorp & led the league in Opp Avg & Whip and had 19 wins himself. Garate only led in wins, which I guess the voters weighted heavily in their voting. Even still, he did have a great season, with the 5th best Vorp, Whip & Strikeouts in the AL.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AWARD - SP Ed Bradby (Chicago White Sox)
- 23yo / USA - MLB ROY Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 23 g - 23 gs - 13-3 rec - 0 sv - 3.71 era - 160.0 ip - 43 bb - 131 k - 1.21 whip
- Career Stats: 43 g - 24 gs - 14-5 rec - 0 sv - 4.03 era - 183.1 ip - 53 bb - 155 k - 1.23 whip (majors/2 yrs)
142 g - 123 gs - 64-32 rec - 0 sv - 3.20 era - 919.1 ip - 331 bb - 702 k - 1.22 whip (career/6 yrs)
- Overview: Even a bigger shock than Garate, Bradby was at best, the 3rd best rookie pitcher and 5th best rookie overall in the AL. The former IRL stud for Missoula finally got his chances as an MLB starter, and even though he was an impressive 13-3, he only started 23 games, and really didn't have the stats of some of the other rookies like Bill Bailey, George McQuillan, Eddie Grant or Masahiro Wantanabe...even with a lower Vorp than all 4 of them. But nevertheless, Bradby was named AL ROY.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
MVP AWARD - LF Xavier Delaluz (Dan Diego Padres)
- 31yo / El Salvador - MLB MVP Awards: 3
- Season Stats: 142 g - 538 ab - .361 avg - 12 hr - 84 rbi - 101 r - 24 sb - .968 ops
- Career Stats: 1345 g - 5089 ab - .337 avg - 186 hr - 762 rbi - 992 r - 148 sb - .967 ops (majors/9 yrs)
1345 g - 5089 ab - .337 avg - 186 hr - 762 rbi - 992 r - 148 sb - .967 ops (career/9 yrs)
- Overview: Winning his 1st MVP award since his 2 straight in 1902 & 1903, Delaluz repeated history. Both of his previous MVP awards were thought to go to Sexto Lopez, and history repeats itself this year, as again Lopez was clearly the better player but lost out. Delaluz led the NL in OPS, and that's it. Lopez was the majors leader in slugging, HR, RBI, total bases and extra base hits. And neither were tops in the NL in Vorp, ranking 2nd & 3rd behind Mel von Lenski. Another controversial MVP for Delaluz.

CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Roy "Rhino" Hitt (Florida Marlins)
- 21yo / USA - MLB CY YOUNG Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 34 g - 34 gs - 23-7 rec - 0 sv - 2.37 era - 277.1 ip - 87 bb - 136 k - 1.13 whip
- Career Stats: 67 g - 67 gs - 32-23 rec - 0 sv - 3.41 era - 515.1 ip - 201 bb - 252 k - 1.32 whip (majors/2 yrs)
67 g - 67 gs - 32-23 rec - 0 sv - 3.41 era - 515.1 ip - 201 bb - 252 k - 1.32 whip (career/2 yrs)
- Overview: Rhino certainly was a beast this year, goring opposing hitters enroute to a league leading 23 wins. Also posting a MLB high in Vorp, he proved stastically to be the league's best pitcher this season. It was a semi-close race, as any other year Red Amers or Walter Johnson easily could have won, but Hitt was too good across the board for them to have any serious consideration. With the NL's 4th best ERA, 3rd best Opp Avg & 7th best Whip, he dominated all season long.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - CF Ambrosio Gonzalez (Colorado Rockies)
- 23yo / USA - MLB ROY Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 152 g - 574 ab - .323 avg - 4 hr - 55 rbi - 58 r - 17 sb - .809 ops
- Career Stats: 152 g - 574 ab - .323 avg - 4 hr - 55 rbi - 58 r - 17 sb - .809 ops (majors/1 yr)
252 g - 839 ab - .323 avg - 13 hr - 98 rbi - 142 r - 31 sb - .847 ops (career/2 yrs)
- Overview: From a minor league All-star to major league ROY in 2 years, Gonzalez looks to be a rising star in baseball. A bit of a surprise as the 1906 5th rd pick didn't figure to be this good, he has proven he is a .300 hitter with decent speed, a proto-typical #2 hitter in the majors. Leading all MLB rookies in Avg, OPS & Vorp, he was very productive despite not possessing much power.

GOLD GLOVE AWARDS:
P - George Disch (Chicago (N) Cubs) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 2

PENNANT RACES:
Mexicali, Guasave, Mochis & Mazatlan all traded time in 1st place in the standings, as the 4 teams vied for the 2 playoff spots in the MWL Championship. As luck would have it, the schedule makers had them meet each other the final 2 series of the season to determine who would make the playoffs.
In the end, Mexicali won the regular season title and will get a chance to win their 3rd straight championship and earn the title of dynasty. Meeting them will be the Hippies who finished a game behind in 2nd. This will be Guasave's 1st trip to the post-season as they have never finished better than 3rd previously.

1908 PLAYOFFS
MEXICAN WINTER LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP:
"GUASAVE WINS TITLE IN 1ST TRIP"
The Guasave Hippies ended the 2-yr reign of Mexicali as league champs, sweeping the Leopards in 3 games in shocking fashion. On paper and during the regular season, the 2 teams looked to be on equal footing, however the Leopards' experience figured to be the difference maker, when in reality, it was the upstarts of Guasave who were the best team.
Johnny Green was arguably, the league's best hitter during the season, and he continued in the championship. Going 5 for 11 in the 3 games, Nutso drove in 2 and scored 4 times while leading Guasave to the title.

AWARD WINNERS

MVP AWARD - 1b Johnny "Nutso" Green (Guasave Hippies)
- 44yo / USA - MWL MVP Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 68 g - 240 ab - .342 avg - 6 hr - 37 rbi - 53 r - 0 sb - 1.026 ops
- Career Stats: 136 g - 471 ab - .359 avg - 7 hr - 60 rbi - 102 r - 0 sb - 1.006 ops (winter/2 yrs)
1205 g - 4448 ab - .300 avg - 178 hr - 769 rbi - 801 r - 19 sb - .925 ops (career/9 yrs)
- Overview: Danny Green had the avg, Bob Andrews the power, Vicente Herrera the RBI, but the argument could be made that Green combined the best of all of them and had the best all-around season. The former 3-time MLB All-star came to Mexico last year to play out the rest of his career and in his 2nd year excelled. Ranking in the top 5 in Avg, OPS, Hits and leading in Runs, he was the top Vorp hitter in the league at the ripe old age of 44.

CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Tom Densmore (Mexicali Leopards)
- 29yo / USA - MWL CY YOUNG Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 14 g - 14 gs - 9-2 rec - 0 sv - 2.50 era - 97.1 ip - 25 bb - 43 k - 1.20 whip
- Career Stats: 28 g - 28 gs - 16-4 rec - 0 sv - 2.27 era - 198.0 ip - 40 bb - 109 k - 1.05 whip (winter/2 yrs)

- Overview: This award could be the culmination of 2 superb season for Densmore, who since coming to Mexico is 16-4 with nearly a 2 era. A former starter in the MLB with Texas, he was demoted to the bullpen and decided to sign with Mexicali to go back to the rotation. Tied for league best in wins, he was in the top 5 in ERA & Vorp and led the Leopards to their 3rd straight MWL Championship berth.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - 3b Joe Cassidy (Mexicali Leopards)
- 25yo / USA - MWL ROY Awards: 1
- Season Stats: 65 g - 254 ab - .319 avg - 2 hr - 33 rbi - 28 r - 13 sb - .794 ops
- Career Stats: 65 g - 254 ab - .319 avg - 2 hr - 33 rbi - 28 r - 13 sb - .794 ops (winter/1 yr)
479 g - 1435 ab - .272 avg - 9 hr - 132 rbi - 172 r - 90 sb - .696 ops (career/5 yrs)
- Overview: Still a youngster at 25, Cassidy has been all over the world spending time in the MLB, IRL and now MWL. Mexicali is his 10th team in 5 years. Never having more than moderate success elsewhere, he looks to have found a home in the MWL. He led all rookies in Avg, OPS, Hits & Vorp and is hoping to finally find some stability in his career.

Orem in the East and Brooklyn out West both won their divisions easily. Orem lost a few to close out the season, otherwise they also would have clinched by double digits. The Owlz will be making their 5th trip to the playoffs and have won the division 2 seasons in a row now. Brooklyn is the defending champs and won their 4th pennant this season. And for the tighter races, the Central and the wildcard. The Central race was between Jupiter and Yakima and those 2 were also involved in the wildcard hunt with Idaho Falls & Missoula from the East. Jupiter closed out the year winning their last 4 to clinch their 4th straight Central crown. And by virtue of Idaho Falls losing to Billings to end the season, Yakima backed into the playoffs as the wildcard team, their 2nd ever trip to the post-season and 1st since 1903.

Vermont was the only early clincher in the LL, running away in the Central, their 3rd division title in the last 5 years. In the East, Hudson Valley clinched on the last game of the season by beating 2nd place Batavia for the 3rd day in a row, making a dramatic comeback to win the pennant in the last series of the season. The win gives the Renegades 5 of the last 6 East titles. Finally, the West needed a 101st game to decide who was the division winner and who was the LL wildcard team. Both Lakewood & Asheville knew there were making the playoffs, but the Blueclaws' 4-1 win in a playoff game won their 2nd straight West pennant and 3rd in their history. Asheville though again made the playoffs for a record 8th straight season. This is their 3rd consecutive wildcard berth and have won the pennant 4 times and 4 wildcard apperances in their history. 1908 PLAYOFFS WILDCARD: Not alot of competition in the wildcard series as all 4 were decided quickly in sweeps. The Washington League saw Yakima and Jupiter knock out Orem & defending champ Brooklyn respectively and the LL saw Vermont take out Asheville and defending LLCS champions Hudson Valley eliminate Lakewood. LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP: The 2 LCS were different tales entirely. The LLCS had Hudson Valley sweep Vermont 3-0, outscoring the Lake Mosters 19-4 in the 3 game series. The Renegades will be making their 2nd straight trip to the IRL World Series and look to avenge last year's loss to Brooklyn. In the series, Alejandro Monterola led the way, winning series MVP while driving in 6 runs and scoring 3 himself and hitting .333 for the series. Now the WLCS was a different story indeed. Jupiter jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the series, but could do nothing to stop Yakima from coming all the way back, winning the next 3, and earning their first trip to the IRL World Series with a 3-2 series win. Nap Rucker was named series MVP depite only pitching in 1 game in the series. But it seemed like his 1 hit/complete game shutout in game 3 turned things around for the Bears and propelled them to the comeback and series win. ROOKIE LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP: "REVENGE IS SWEET, HUDSON VALLEY WINS 2ND TITLE" Coming oh so close last season, Hudson Valley lost to Brooklyn in 7 games and vowed they would be back this year. Living up to that promise, the Renegades beat Yakima 4-1 in the championship to win the IRL title. Over the past 4 seasons, they have been the class of the league, winning the IRL Championship this year and in 1905 and making it to the series last year. They also became only the 2nd team in league history with multiple championships, joining Ogden. SP Ramiro Montelongo was named series MVP, going 2-0 in his 2 starts and allowing 3 er in his 14 ip while stiking out 13. Code: 1908 LEAGUE LEADERBOARD WASHINGTON LEAGUE Batting AVG P.

An 8th rd pick in the last draft, no one could have predicted this type of success for Preston, who turned out to be a pleasant surprise for Oakland. He also lead all of the IRL in OPS & Vorp and was 3rd in the WL in HR & 2nd in RBI. CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Del Mason (Orem Owlz) - 24yo / USA - IRL CY YOUNG Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 21 g - 21 gs - 16-3 rec - 0 sv - 2.37 era - 171.0 ip - 50 bb - 59 k - 1.16 whip - Career Stats: 43 g - 43 gs - 29-11 rec - 0 sv - 2.84 era - 345.2 ip - 81 bb - 144 k - 1.25 whip (minors/2 yrs) 43 g - 43 gs - 29-11 rec - 0 sv - 2.84 era - 345.2 ip - 81 bb - 144 k - 1.25 whip (career/2 yrs) - Overview: The last pick in the 1st rd of the 1906 draft, Mason had a decent year last year as a rookie, but really exploded this season for Orem. Leading the WL in the triple crown categories of ERA, Wins & Vorp, he was the easy choice for the award. GOLD GLOVE AWARDS: P - Nick Maddox (Missoula Osprey) - IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1 C - Joe Neblina (Aberdeen Ironbirds) - IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1 1b - Alan Storke (Hagerstown Suns) - IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1 2B - Gene Dorrane (Billings Mustangs) - IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1 3B - Don Cullman (Brooklyn Cyclones) - IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1 SS - Heinie Wagner (Ogden Raptors) - IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1 LF - Aaron Yates (Boise Hawks) - IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1 CF - Wes Sly (Boise Hawks) - IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1 RF - Red Murray (Jupiter Hammerheads) - IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1 LINCOLN LEAGUE MVP AWARD - LF Hector Mana (West Virginia Power) - 25yo / USA - IRL MVP Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 91 g - 344 ab - .297 avg - 11 hr - 52 rbi - 48 r - 1 sb - .885 ops - Career Stats: 91 g - 344 ab - .297 avg - 11 hr - 52 rbi - 48 r - 1 sb - .885 ops (minors/1 yr) 106 g - 383 ab - .311 avg - 14 hr - 60 rbi - 57 r - 1 sb - .942 ops (career/1 yr) - Overview: Wha wha what??? Mana stole this award somehow. 5th best Vorp, no where to be found on the Avg, HR or RBI leaderboards, I am in shock. The 7th rd pick of the Cards really wasn't even in consideration yet somehow was named MVP. Really not sure what the game was looking at when making this choice. CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Ed Willett (Lakewood Blueclaws) - 24yo / USA - IRL CY YOUNG Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 23 g - 23 gs - 17-4 rec - 0 sv - 1.81 era - 194.1 ip - 25 bb - 104 k - 0.97 whip - Career Stats: 23 g - 23 gs - 17-4 rec - 0 sv - 1.81 era - 194.1 ip - 25 bb - 104 k - 0.97 whip (minors/1 yr) 23 g - 23 gs - 17-4 rec - 0 sv - 1.81 era - 194.1 ip - 25 bb - 104 k - 0.97 whip (career/1 yr) - Overview: The Pittsburgh Pirates look like they have a bright future in their rotation as Willett joins Bobby Keefe last year as Cy Young winners from Lakewood, Pittsburgh's minor league team. Where Mason led the WL in wins, era & vorp, Willett did it in the entire league as well as the best Whip, truly dominating as the league's top hurler this season after being taking 20th in the last draft.

This is their 1st pennant since their 3 straight championship seasons from 1903 to 1905. Code: 1908 FINAL STANDINGS Central League Team W L PCT GB Pyt.Rec Chunichi Dragon 79 67 .541 - 83-63 Yakult Swallows 77 69 .527 2.0 80-66 Hanshin Tiger 73 73 .500 6.0 69-77 Hiroshima Toyo Carp 72 74 .493 7.0 68-78 Yokohama Bay Stars 71 75 .486 8.0 70-76 Yomiuri Giants 66 80 .452 13.0 69-77 PENNANT RACES: Chunichi was able to hold off a late charge by Yakult, who cut the Dragons lead from 6 with a week left to 2 at season's end. Chunichi thought they were coasting to to a 2nd straight Central league title, but after the Swallows made things interesting, they finished strong winning their last 2 to secure the pennant and a chance to avenge last year's loss in the * Championship. 1908 PLAYOFFS NIPPON LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP: "TOHOKU BACK ON TOP" Tohoku was the only dynasty in league history, winning 3 straight championships from 1903 to 1905, the only extended stretch like that in league history. 3 years later, the Ninjas are back on top of the * by defeating Chunichi 4 games to 1, a 2nd straight loss in the championship series for the Dragon. As now, they only 4-time champ, Tohoku clearly is the best team in the early history of the league. Glenn Bowers was named series MVP for Tohoku, going 11 for 24 in the series, including 1 hr, 5 rbi & 4 runs scored. Code: 1908 LEAGUE LEADERBOARD PACIFIC LEAGUE Batting AVG E. McFarland CHI .337 C.

He entered this season as Tohoku's starting 1b, but even the Ninjas were surprised at how well he did. Leading the league in OPS & the PL's only 100 rbi man, he was the premier run producer and power hitter in the league. He also had the 4th best Avg, 2nd most HR & 2nd best Vorp proving he wasn't just a slugger but a solid all around hitter. CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Christy "Big Six" Mathewson (Tohoku Rakuten Ninjas) - 28yo / USA - * CY YOUNG Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 30 g - 30 gs - 19-4 rec - 0 sv - 2.05 era - 214.2 ip - 16 bb - 216 k - 0.77 whip - Career Stats: 194 g - 194 gs - 87-61 rec - 0 sv - 2.71 era - 1332.1 ip - 143 bb - 1210 k - 0.98 whip (int/7 yrs) 201 g - 201 gs - 90-63 rec - 0 sv - 2.68 era - 1380.2 ip - 154 bb - 1243 k - 0.98 whip (career/8 yrs) - Overview: With all the talent to be the best pitcher in all of baseball, it is rather shocking that this is Mathewson's 1st Cy Young award. He has had many other solid seasons, but no dominant ones like he did this year. Leading all of Japan in ERA, Opp Avg, Whip & a ridiculous K/BB ratio, he was pretty much untouchable this season. And with a career best 19 wins, he won his 1st Cy Young award. Sadly though, he injured his back in his last start of the season, missed the championship run by Tohoku, and will be out for 10 months, missing a good portion of next year. ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - LF Hidetada Suzuki (Seibu Lions) - 26yo / Japan - * ROY Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 136 g - 522 ab - .322 avg - 14 hr - 78 rbi - 82 r - 0 sb - .866 ops - Career Stats: 136 g - 522 ab - .322 avg - 14 hr - 78 rbi - 82 r - 0 sb - .866 ops (int/1 yr) 136 g - 522 ab - .322 avg - 14 hr - 78 rbi - 82 r - 0 sb - .866 ops (career/1 yr) - Overview: A 1st rd pick in 1904, Suzuki spent a few seasons on Seibu's reserve roster, finally cracking the active 25 this year as the starting leftfielder. It looks like he was well worth the wait as Suzuki was easily the most productive rookie in all of Japan. Leading all rookies in Avg, OPS, Vorp & runs scored, while leading the PL in HR & RBI as well, he had a huge 1st season and was rightfully named the league's top rookie. GOLD GLOVE AWARDS: P - Christy "Big Six" Mathewson (Tohoku Rakuten Ninjas) - * GOLD GLOVES: 1 C - Ed McFarland (Chiba Lotte Marines) - * GOLD GLOVES: 7 1b - Masujiro Hirayama (Orix Buffaloes) - * GOLD GLOVES: 1 2B - Masaaki Gondoh (Orix Buffaloes) - * GOLD GLOVES: 3 3B - Kuniaki Kawatoh (Nippon Fighters) - * GOLD GLOVES: 1 SS - Glenn Bowers (Tohoku Rakuten Ninjas) - * GOLD GLOVES: 1 LF - Yakamochi Haga (Chiba Lotte Marines) - * GOLD GLOVES: 2 CF - Hoshi Saga (Chiba Lotte Marines) - * GOLD GLOVES: 1 RF - Makoto Kogawa (Chiba Lotte Marines) - * GOLD GLOVES: 1 CENTRAL LEAGUE MVP AWARD - 3b Kunisada Hashimoto (Chunichi Dragon) - 26yo / Japan - * MVP Awards: 2 - Season Stats: 137 g - 537 ab - .387 avg - 17 hr - 81 rbi - 91 r - 4 sb - 1.019 ops - Career Stats: 583 g - 2216 ab - .333 avg - 60 hr - 289 rbi - 349 r - 17 sb - .879 ops (int/6 yrs) 583 g - 2216 ab - .333 avg - 60 hr - 289 rbi - 349 r - 17 sb - .879 ops (career/6 yrs) - Overview: Joining Dave Vodden & Ed Delahanty, Hashimoto becomes the 3rd person to win atleast 2 straight MVP awards, bettering his numbers for his 1st award last year. In putting up the 3rd highest batting avg in a season, he led all of Japan in Avg, OPS & Vorp as more of a table setter in the #3 hole than a run producer. CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Hiroya Sasaki (Hiroshima Toyo Carp) - 27yo / Japan - * CY YOUNG Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 31 g - 31 gs - 15-7 rec - 0 sv - 2.20 era - 208.2 ip - 42 bb - 202 k - 1.10 whip - Career Stats: 82 g - 78 gs - 36-20 rec - 0 sv - 2.98 era - 521.2 ip - 118 bb - 464 k - 1.16 whip (int/3 yrs) 82 g - 78 gs - 36-20 rec - 0 sv - 2.98 era - 521.2 ip - 118 bb - 464 k - 1.16 whip (career/3 yrs) - Overview: With no dominat pitcher in the Central this year, this was one of the closest votes in Cy Young history with any of 5 different pitchers in the running. Sasaki might have been the best all-around and thus was rewarded with the trophy. Tied for league best in ERA, he was tied for 3rd in Wins, 2nd in Vorp, 4th in K's & 6th in both Whip & Opp Avg. The 1903 1st rd pick is finally emerging as the ace Hiroshima thought he would be after his 3rd season in the league. ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - CF Katsunan "Neanderthal" Hirayama (Hanshin Tiger) - 26yo / Japan - * ROY Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 135 g - 540 ab - .272 avg - 16 hr - 82 rbi - 77 r - 12 sb - .770 ops - Career Stats: 166 g - 626 ab - .260 avg - 17 hr - 93 rbi - 83 r - 13 sb - .733 ops (int/3 yrs) 166 g - 626 ab - .260 avg - 17 hr - 93 rbi - 83 r - 13 sb - .733 ops (career/3 yrs) - Overview: Living up to his nickname, he swung his bat like a caveman clubbing a wounded animal. The 2nd pick in the 1905 draft spent little time in reserves, seeing limited time immediately the next season, but not breaking thru as a starter for Hanshin until this year. Leading all * rookies in HR & RBI he figures to be a fixture in the heart of the Tiger lineup for years to come, swinging a heavy clublike bat and pounding the ball.

All 4 playoff teams got to rest their starters and set their rotations for the post-season. Defending champion Boston made a 2nd straight East pennant, their 4th in their history. The Central had 2 teams make it to the playoffs. The White Sox extended their streak to 4 straight division titles and Detroit won the wildcard berth and will be making their 1st trip to the playoffs since 1904. Finally out West, the Angels had the only 100+ win season in the AL, winning their 3rd straight pennant, 5th in history and 6th playoff berth in 9 years. All without a championship. Code: 1908 FINAL STANDINGS National League Eastern Division Team W L PCT GB Pyt.Rec Florida Marlins 101 61 .623 - 100-62 Atlanta Braves 94 68 .580 7.0 94-68 Washington Nationals 91 71 .562 10.0 88-74 New York (N) Mets 85 77 .525 16.0 84-78 Philadelphia Phillies 71 91 .438 30.0 67-95 Central Division Team W L PCT GB Pyt.Rec Cincinnati Reds 88 74 .543 - 86-76 Pittsburgh Pirates 78 84 .481 10.0 75-87 Chicago (N) Cubs 75 87 .463 13.0 73-89 St. Louis Cardinals 74 88 .457 14.0 78-84 Houston Astros 64 98 .395 24.0 61-101 Milwaukee Brewers 57 105 .352 31.0 57-105 Western Division Team W L PCT GB Pyt.Rec San Diego Padres 93 69 .574 - 91-71 Arizona Diamondbacks 89 73 .549 4.0 97-65 Los Angeles (N) Dodgers 82 80 .506 11.0 90-72 Colorado Rockies 78 84 .481 15.0 80-82 San Francisco Giants 76 86 .469 17.0 76-86 PENNANT RACES: While things were a little closer in the NL, for the most part it mirrored what happened in the American League, with all the playoffs teams clinching rather comfortably. The Marlins won the East with the only 100+ win season in the league. They will be making only their 2nd trip to the playoffs in their history, and this is their 1st pennant. Atlanta made the playoffs as the wildcard, giving them 7 trips to the post-season in their 9 year history. Cincinnati's reign over the Central continued as they won their 3rd straight division title. It gives them 5 in their history. Finally, defending NLCS champs, the Padres, won their 4th consecutive pennant. They hope to avenge last season's loss in the World Series. 1908 PLAYOFFS WILDCARD: 3 sweeps, 1 series going 4, the 1st rd of the playoffs was rather undramatic. The 2 favorites in the AL advanced, proving they really were the best teams in the league all year long. Anaheim swept Detroit 3-0 and Chicago did the same to Boston, setting up the ALCS with the 2 best in the league. In the NL, the East reigned supreme. Florida needed 4 games, but knocked out Cincy and wildcard Atlanta swept the Padres, pitting the division rivals in the NLCS. LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP: The ALCS featured an 101 win and 99 win team, and the better team during the season proved to be the better team in the playoffs. The Angels beat the White Sox 4-2 in the series and finally will be playing in the World Series after 5 previous unfulfilling trips to the playoffs. Ace SP Anastasio Garate won series MVP, going 2-0 in his 2 games started. He allowed 5 er in his 2 games and struck out 10 in his 14.2 innings of work. The NL World Series representative is the wildcard team, as Atlanta beat division rival and favorite Florida rather easily, 4 games to 1. Finishing 7 games behind the Marlins in the regular season didn't matter much to the Braves who outplayed the pennant winners. Bob Childress led the way hitting, going 11 for 23 with 4 rbi & 7 runs scored in the series. WORLD SERIES: "ANGELS FINALLY WIN THE TITLE" Anaheim has been one of the most consistent and best teams in the league since its inception, always a playoff contender and a World Series hopeful. Yet until this season, they have never been able to end the season with a win and a pop of the champagne bottle. Down 3-2 to Atlanta, Anaheim used their home field advantage to come back, win games 6 & 7 and finally get the rally monkey off their backs and win the elusive World Series title. 2-time MVP Jorge Balcorta, who at 37 doesn't have many years left in him, put on a show for the ages. Hitting nearly .400 in the series, he hit 3 hrs, stole 3 bases, drove in 9 and scored 10 times. One of the most clutch performances ever in World Series history.

Johnson WSH 205 AWARD WINNERS AMERICAN LEAGUE MVP AWARD - RF Ron Cronshaw (Tampa Bay Devil Rays) - 34yo / USA - MLB MVP Awards: 7 - Season Stats: 142 g - 519 ab - .333 avg - 25 hr - 101 rbi - 95 r - 5 sb - 1.003 ops - Career Stats: 1370 g - 4962 ab - .339 avg - 286 hr - 992 rbi - 1019 r - 39 sb - 1.065 ops (majors/9 yrs) 1370 g - 4962 ab - .339 avg - 286 hr - 992 rbi - 1019 r - 39 sb - 1.065 ops (career/9 yrs) - Overview: Blah blah blah 5th straight MVP...blah blah blah 7th in 9 yr history of league...blah blah blah Greatest player ever...blah blah CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Anastasio Garate (Anaheim Angels) - 28yo / USA - MLB CY YOUNG Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 35 g - 35 gs - 21-11 rec - 0 sv - 3.41 era - 284.2 ip - 53 bb - 202 k - 1.18 whip - Career Stats: 303 g - 303 gs - 143-118 rec - 0 sv - 3.74 era - 2349.0 ip - 413 bb - 1779 k - 1.23 whip (majors/9 yrs) 303 g - 303 gs - 143-118 rec - 0 sv - 3.74 era - 2349.0 ip - 413 bb - 1779 k - 1.23 whip (career/9 yrs) - Overview: Bit of a surprise here. Yes, Garate was the only 20+ game winner in the AL, but Doc White had a full run better ERA, higher Vorp & led the league in Opp Avg & Whip and had 19 wins himself. Garate only led in wins, which I guess the voters weighted heavily in their voting. Even still, he did have a great season, with the 5th best Vorp, Whip & Strikeouts in the AL. ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AWARD - SP Ed Bradby (Chicago White Sox) - 23yo / USA - MLB ROY Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 23 g - 23 gs - 13-3 rec - 0 sv - 3.71 era - 160.0 ip - 43 bb - 131 k - 1.21 whip - Career Stats: 43 g - 24 gs - 14-5 rec - 0 sv - 4.03 era - 183.1 ip - 53 bb - 155 k - 1.23 whip (majors/2 yrs) 142 g - 123 gs - 64-32 rec - 0 sv - 3.20 era - 919.1 ip - 331 bb - 702 k - 1.22 whip (career/6 yrs) - Overview: Even a bigger shock than Garate, Bradby was at best, the 3rd best rookie pitcher and 5th best rookie overall in the AL. The former IRL stud for Missoula finally got his chances as an MLB starter, and even though he was an impressive 13-3, he only started 23 games, and really didn't have the stats of some of the other rookies like Bill Bailey, George McQuillan, Eddie Grant or Masahiro Wantanabe...even with a lower Vorp than all 4 of them. But nevertheless, Bradby was named AL ROY. GOLD GLOVE AWARDS: P - Charlie Jaeger (Minnesota Twins) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 1 C - Nig Clarke (Los Angeles (A) Angels) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 1 1b - Sherry Magee (Boston Red Sox) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 3 2B - Leon Reyes (Baltimore Orioles) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 1 3B - "Scranton" Bill Coughlin (Oakland Athletics) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 1 SS - Pop Lloyd (Los Angeles (A) Angels) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 3 LF - Cornelio Cortez (Cleveland Indians) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 1 CF - Bill Oulton (Seattle Mariners) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 2 / IRL GOLD GLOVES: 2 RF - Damario Legorreta (Minnesota Twins) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 1 NATIONAL LEAGUE MVP AWARD - LF Xavier Delaluz (Dan Diego Padres) - 31yo / El Salvador - MLB MVP Awards: 3 - Season Stats: 142 g - 538 ab - .361 avg - 12 hr - 84 rbi - 101 r - 24 sb - .968 ops - Career Stats: 1345 g - 5089 ab - .337 avg - 186 hr - 762 rbi - 992 r - 148 sb - .967 ops (majors/9 yrs) 1345 g - 5089 ab - .337 avg - 186 hr - 762 rbi - 992 r - 148 sb - .967 ops (career/9 yrs) - Overview: Winning his 1st MVP award since his 2 straight in 1902 & 1903, Delaluz repeated history. Both of his previous MVP awards were thought to go to Sexto Lopez, and history repeats itself this year, as again Lopez was clearly the better player but lost out. Delaluz led the NL in OPS, and that's it. Lopez was the majors leader in slugging, HR, RBI, total bases and extra base hits. And neither were tops in the NL in Vorp, ranking 2nd & 3rd behind Mel von Lenski. Another controversial MVP for Delaluz. CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Roy "Rhino" Hitt (Florida Marlins) - 21yo / USA - MLB CY YOUNG Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 34 g - 34 gs - 23-7 rec - 0 sv - 2.37 era - 277.1 ip - 87 bb - 136 k - 1.13 whip - Career Stats: 67 g - 67 gs - 32-23 rec - 0 sv - 3.41 era - 515.1 ip - 201 bb - 252 k - 1.32 whip (majors/2 yrs) 67 g - 67 gs - 32-23 rec - 0 sv - 3.41 era - 515.1 ip - 201 bb - 252 k - 1.32 whip (career/2 yrs) - Overview: Rhino certainly was a beast this year, goring opposing hitters enroute to a league leading 23 wins. Also posting a MLB high in Vorp, he proved stastically to be the league's best pitcher this season. It was a semi-close race, as any other year Red Amers or Walter Johnson easily could have won, but Hitt was too good across the board for them to have any serious consideration. With the NL's 4th best ERA, 3rd best Opp Avg & 7th best Whip, he dominated all season long. ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - CF Ambrosio Gonzalez (Colorado Rockies) - 23yo / USA - MLB ROY Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 152 g - 574 ab - .323 avg - 4 hr - 55 rbi - 58 r - 17 sb - .809 ops - Career Stats: 152 g - 574 ab - .323 avg - 4 hr - 55 rbi - 58 r - 17 sb - .809 ops (majors/1 yr) 252 g - 839 ab - .323 avg - 13 hr - 98 rbi - 142 r - 31 sb - .847 ops (career/2 yrs) - Overview: From a minor league All-star to major league ROY in 2 years, Gonzalez looks to be a rising star in baseball. A bit of a surprise as the 1906 5th rd pick didn't figure to be this good, he has proven he is a .300 hitter with decent speed, a proto-typical #2 hitter in the majors. Leading all MLB rookies in Avg, OPS & Vorp, he was very productive despite not possessing much power. GOLD GLOVE AWARDS: P - George Disch (Chicago (N) Cubs) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 2 C - Roger "The Duke of Tralee" Bresnahan (Los Angeles (N) Dodgers) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 4 1b - Amadeo Anela (Florida Marlins) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 3 / IRL GOLD GLOVES: 1 2B - Christian Armstrong (Milwaukee Brewers) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 1 3B - "Little" Joe Yeager (Pittsburgh Pirates) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 2 SS - Mike MacKinsar (Milwaukee Brewers) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 1 LF - Bob Reinke (Atlanta Braves) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 2 CF - Tim Blais (Washington Nationals) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 3 RF - Kaz Imamura (New York (N) Mets) - MLB GOLD GLOVES: 1 __________________ This space for rent

As luck would have it, the schedule makers had them meet each other the final 2 series of the season to determine who would make the playoffs. In the end, Mexicali won the regular season title and will get a chance to win their 3rd straight championship and earn the title of dynasty. Meeting them will be the Hippies who finished a game behind in 2nd. This will be Guasave's 1st trip to the post-season as they have never finished better than 3rd previously. 1908 PLAYOFFS MEXICAN WINTER LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP: "GUASAVE WINS TITLE IN 1ST TRIP" The Guasave Hippies ended the 2-yr reign of Mexicali as league champs, sweeping the Leopards in 3 games in shocking fashion. On paper and during the regular season, the 2 teams looked to be on equal footing, however the Leopards' experience figured to be the difference maker, when in reality, it was the upstarts of Guasave who were the best team. Johnny Green was arguably, the league's best hitter during the season, and he continued in the championship. Going 5 for 11 in the 3 games, Nutso drove in 2 and scored 4 times while leading Guasave to the title. Code: 1908 LEAGUE LEADERBOARD Batting AVG D. Green MAZ .406 V. Herrera MAZ .355 L.

The former 3-time MLB All-star came to Mexico last year to play out the rest of his career and in his 2nd year excelled. Ranking in the top 5 in Avg, OPS, Hits and leading in Runs, he was the top Vorp hitter in the league at the ripe old age of 44. CY YOUNG AWARD - SP Tom Densmore (Mexicali Leopards) - 29yo / USA - MWL CY YOUNG Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 14 g - 14 gs - 9-2 rec - 0 sv - 2.50 era - 97.1 ip - 25 bb - 43 k - 1.20 whip - Career Stats: 28 g - 28 gs - 16-4 rec - 0 sv - 2.27 era - 198.0 ip - 40 bb - 109 k - 1.05 whip (winter/2 yrs) 258 g - 121 gs - 55-46 rec - 0 sv - 4.68 era - 1038.1 ip - 301 bb - 545 k - 1.41 whip (career/9 yrs) - Overview: This award could be the culmination of 2 superb season for Densmore, who since coming to Mexico is 16-4 with nearly a 2 era. A former starter in the MLB with Texas, he was demoted to the bullpen and decided to sign with Mexicali to go back to the rotation. Tied for league best in wins, he was in the top 5 in ERA & Vorp and led the Leopards to their 3rd straight MWL Championship berth. ROOKIE OF THE YEAR - 3b Joe Cassidy (Mexicali Leopards) - 25yo / USA - MWL ROY Awards: 1 - Season Stats: 65 g - 254 ab - .319 avg - 2 hr - 33 rbi - 28 r - 13 sb - .794 ops - Career Stats: 65 g - 254 ab - .319 avg - 2 hr - 33 rbi - 28 r - 13 sb - .794 ops (winter/1 yr) 479 g - 1435 ab - .272 avg - 9 hr - 132 rbi - 172 r - 90 sb - .696 ops (career/5 yrs) - Overview: Still a youngster at 25, Cassidy has been all over the world spending time in the MLB, IRL and now MWL. Mexicali is his 10th team in 5 years. Never having more than moderate success elsewhere, he looks to have found a home in the MWL. He led all rookies in Avg, OPS, Hits & Vorp and is hoping to finally find some stability in his career.
