ELEGANTS' LAGRANGE ACCLAIMED RU MVP
In spirited balloting Eastshore Elegants' star Scotty Lagrange nipped two strong challengers Bobby Gamble of Sugar Valley and J. J. Gillespie of Cold Creek and was acclaimed the Ruthlandian Union Most Valuable Player in a poll by The Islandian Times... it was the first time in Lagrange's 9-year career that he has won the MVP honor... the 28-year-old Lagrange is a four-time All-Star and twice a Golden Glover... the gifted Eastshore center fielder batted .315 in 147 games and had 47 homers, 109 RBIs and scored 117 runs... Lagrange is a lifetime .307 hitter.

Runner-up to Lagrange was Sugar Valley's 22-year-old standout center fielder Bobby Gamble, who notched a .324 BA with 34 roundtrippers, 105 RBIs and an IPA-leading 125 runs... he also led the RU with 45 stolen bases... third in the MVP poll was Cold Creek's ace and Golden Arm recipient J. J. Gillespie... he led all Ruthlandian hurlers with a 2.17 ERA... it's the second time in three seasons Gillespie has posted the league's best ERA... he was 20-10 this year record-wise and also paced the RU for the third season in a row with 7 shutouts.

TUCKS YOUNGSTER BRISTOW TU MVP
It must run in the family... Tuckanarra's Junior Bristow is following in his father's illustrious footsteps by winning the coveted Tycobbian Union Most Valuable Player Award... IPA Hall-of-Famer Titus Bristow also won the honor in 2006 as member of the Blue Jays... Bristow, Jr. beat out Adam Thurgood of the North Hills Hawks and Charley Kota of the Chicopee Braves.

The 24-year-old Bristow has won 20 games in each of his first two years in the IPA...the Blue Jays captured the division flag both seasons... this year he put up a 22-11 mark with a superlative 2.51 ERA and led the Tucks to the TU East title and the IPA Pro Cup championship... Bristow is 43-24 in his two seasons with a 2.87 ERA.

The number-two votegetter in the MVP poll was North Hills' talented left fielder Adam Thurgood, who led the Hawks to a second consecutive TU North pennant... Thurgood played in 146 games, hit .331 and was the IPA co-leader with 209 hits... Thurgood collected 32 home runs, drove in 103 runs and scored 92 runs... third place went to Chicopee's fine outfielder Charley Kota... he batted .304 with 29 homers, 101 RBIs and 113 runs, leading the Braves to a second successive TU West flag.
