There is probably a case to be made for having no award in this category. But, then, you could probably say the same about every other category as well. I’d not mind if we simply pretended the entire season didn’t take place; not least, the bit at the end with the Dodgers becoming World Series Champions*. But mediocre baseball is, as we frequently reminded ourselves, better than no baseball at all. So, after consideration, I’m going to plow on regardless, and honor the winner, with 45% of the (nine!) votes cast. Though in line with the general sense of ennui, I’m not going to write the game up in detail, and will simply reprint Dan’s recap.
