Thanks to those who participated!

We had six voters this year who had a perfect voting record. They will each receive a vacuum cleaner bag and a chance to dance with Maja at the CPF Christmas party.

Amazing, I look forward to picking up my bag

I'm sure Lucas Duda in his interview for Lipscomb baseball hitting coach showed them his 2014 POTY award

[kcmets]

Fun stuff as usual! Twenty years of thanks, Señor Grimm.

Congrats to Francisco, Sean, Edwin and Nimmz. Hopefully SNY
will share what they have to say about the honors on the pre-
game shows airing this afternoon.

A vacuum cleaner bag! What a generous and thoughtful gift. I
have the perfect spot for it in my trophy room.

And folks, if you dance with Maja be mindful of your pockets.
She is slick and I'm certain she lifted $800 in travelers cheques
from me a number of years ago.

Glad someone edged out Reed Garrett for Relief Pitcher of the Year.

I would have thought bench player would be Bader or Iglesias. Surprising.

I guess "bench player" means something different now in the world with the DH.

Outstanding work as always BG. Thank you for doing this!

[ashie62]

This is always fun every year. A big thank you to BG for curating this

[Edgy MD]

If you put all those RELIEVER OF THE MONTH cards into a pile, and you flip through them, it makes a movie.

I don't know where I dropped the ball on my perfect voting record, but my shame runs deep.

[G-Fafif]

“This thing’s in the bag,” I said as I cast my Game 162 ballot — and it is!

All hail Schaefer PotY and East Coast NL MVP Lindor.

[Centerfield]

HAIL!!!
