Thanks for all the hard work this year Padre. Too bad the playoff teams couldn't give you another couple of weeks to work with.
Ditto. Following the minors were more entertaining this year than the big club and you made it easy to follow.
I don't even remember Lewis Thorpe. That's impressive numbers. He'll be one to keep an eye on next year.
This is the first time I remember doing this where every team had someone who was actually deserving of being a Player of the Year, rather than someone who was just the best of a mediocre bunch.
Something WGOM Citizens have been aspiring to here for years now.
