Regular Season Awards - MVP

Greenhorn
(6,1,2)-35 Pts-Lou Gehrig (PR) --- 1.028 OPS, 44 HR, 110 RBI
(2,5,2)-27 Pts-Mickey Mantle (HH)- 0.925 OPS, 42 HR, 141 RBI
(2,4,2)-24 Pts-Tip O'Neill (DC) -- 0.983 OPS, 45 2B, 93 R
(0,0,3)-3 Pts-Duke Snider (DC)
(0,0,1)-1 Pts-Joe DiMaggio (EPL)

The Greenhorn MVP award goes to Lou Gehrig, who, despite playing for the 66 win Potomac Rage, picked up 6 of the 10 possible first place votes. Close behind Gehrig was Helena's Mickey Mantle (2 first, 5 second, 2 third) and DC's Tip O'Neill (2 first, 4 second, 2 third)

Mossback
(4,3,1)-30 Pts-Ted Williams (LDS):.913 OPS, 30 HR, 136 RBI
(3,3,4)-28 Pts-Jimmy Foxx (DB): - .957 OPS, 52 HR, 123 RBI
(1,4,2)-19 Pts-King Kelly (LDS) - .894 OPS, 29 2B, 101 R
(2,0,1)-11 Pts-Norm Cash (JMF)
(0,0,1)-1 Pts-Stan Musial (DWO)
(0,0,1)-1 Pts-Joe Morgan (OFB)

In the closest vote of all time, Ted Williams narrowly defeats Jimmy Foxx 30 points to 28 for the Mossback MVP. Williams was on the division winning Death Speaker squad and while he had a tremendous year, lost some votes to teammate King Kelly, who finished 3rd. The Brews Foxx led the league in home runs but lost a few votes since he played on team out of post season contention.

Norm Cash finished 4th, but had more first place votes than Kelly.
