Hello everybody, and welcome to the Shoeless Joe World Shoey Awards for S7! These awards were such a success last season, that we just had to do it again! The same three categories were voted on, and the results are in! Our first award is...
BEST TEAM ACQUISITION OF THE YEAR
And the winner is...
 |
The Rudy Dingman Trade!
Rudy Dingman Trade ..... 10
Cliff Stanton Trade ..... 8
Rick Browne FA Sign ..... 2
What a year Rudy Dingman had for Pawtucket last season. Notching a 17-4 record, 2.54 ERA, and the AL CY Young award. Can you do any better than that?
COMEBACK TEAM OF THE YEAR
And the winner is...
THE ATLANTA CONVICKS!
Atlanta Convicks ..... 8
San Juan Expos ..... 4
San Diego Padres ..... 2
Syracuse Iriquois ..... 2
Chicago Rooftops ..... 1
Philadelphia Cheese Steaks ..... 1
This particular category could have gone to anybody, as all 6 of these teams had excellent improvements from the previous year. The slight favorite was San Juan, where natas46 has been impressively improving that team since day one he entered the league. However, the Atlanta franchise was not to be denied. Atlanta improved 21 wins from S6, and they earned their first ever playoff berth. Keep up the great work!
And last, but certainly not least...
OWNER OF THE YEAR
And the winner is...
bobkordecki ..... 17
hwaters397 ..... 2
rootgargle ..... 1
This category will normally have a landslide winner each season, and this vote was no different. Bobkordecki tore it up for Rochester in S7, dominating the regular season with 105 victories and going on to win the World Series. Now the big question that must be asked... can they do it again?????
