In the movie Graham gets a chance to go back with the greatest players of all time after he saves a little girl. He made the choice between playing ball, and being a good man. For all that encompasses Moonlight Graham's character and the real man, the award is named for him.
Here are the nominees....please vote to the left. Winners will be announced in one week.
Thunderdonkey
– Minnesota Twins
The
Twins had not competed under previous ownership, but in a few short years
thunderdonkey won his division with a 94-68 record. No Twins team had ever
reached 90 wins, until now.
Drichter
– Cleveland Indians
The
Indians completed a magical run to win the vaunted AL East by one game, just
barely holding off the Yankees. Once they reached the playoffs, they dominated
the AL. It wasn’t until game 7 of the World Series that the dream came to an
end. This was the Indians first division title, and only their second winning
season in franchise history.
Akgsports
– Texas Rangers
Texas
is the model of consistency for Kinsella, and has won six consecutive division
titles, and eight consecutive playoff appearances.
Ssauve25
– Montreal Expos
From
the depths rose the Expos and after a few horrible seasons, the Expos are one
of the premier teams in the NL and all of Kinsella. They have won five
consecutive division titles and reached the NLCS twice in that time. The Expos
haven’t been below 92 wins all of that time.
Dillontt
– Philadelphia Phillies
The
Phillies finally broke the 90 win mark on their way to winning the NL East. It
was a first under Dillon, and while he didn’t make it past the first round, the
fact that this team has become stable once again is an accomplishment.
Rookie30000
– Pittsburgh Pirates
The
Pirates had once been the laughing stock of Kinsella. After a rough first
season, rookie has taken the Pirates to the playoffs three years running, to
the NLCS two years in a row, and finally the World Series where they won it all
this season. Raise the Jolly Roger!
Tedwmoore
– Florida Marlins
Love
him, or hate him, Ted took a chaotic situation in south Florida and turned them
into a perennial powerhouse. Ted always speaks his mind and he commands a
measure of respect from fellow owners. Oh, and the Marlins aren’t bad either.
Reaching the World Series in 3 of 5 years, and winning it twice is an
accomplishment.
Cyben5150
– St. Louis Cardinals
The
Cards had fallen on hard times. While they still haven’t made the playoffs
since season 16 (under different ownership) cyben improved his team from 72
wins all the way to 88 wins. That is the highest win total since season 11.
Sermonauthor
– San Diego Padres
The
Padres are lucky to have an owner like Sermon, and Kinsella is lucky to have
him. He is a mixture of Gandolph the Great, Christopher Walken, Branch Rickey,
and Billie Beane. Although he had his worse season since season 15, and lost
the division title for the first time since season 17. Regardless, is there
anyone wiser, or more entertaining than sermon?
