2. Bob Gibson, 33, PIT, RHSP
3. Javier Vazquez, 27, BRO, RHSP
4. Earl Moseley, 26, BSN, RHSP

Top three NL Mariano Rivera Award for 1942:

1. Gregg Olson, 26, PIT, RHRP
2. Buck J Freeman, 21, BRO, LHRP
3. Ted Goulait, 25, BSN, RHRP

Top three NL Jackie Robinson Award for 1942:

1. Donovan Osborne, 21, PIT, LHSP
2. Rich Gedman, 20, BRO, C
3. Robbie Ross, 21, STL, LHRP

This time the Pirates would not be denied as they took out the Phillies in six games and the Yankees in seven. Haddock, Gibson, and Killebrew were helped out a lot by C Devin Mesoraco, SS Carlos Guillen and CF Bobby Thomson. They also got help from rookie SP Donovan Osborne and CL Gregg Olson, and a good season from SP Kevin Millwood. All of these players came together to push the Pirates to a 103-59 record and the 4th World Championship in team history. It looks like one of those seasons where they got strong contributions from a lot of different players to put them over the top. Every championship season has a little bit of magic dust, and this one was no different.
