2064 Season (MLB)

October/November 2064:
MLB: The Toronto Reds BC bested the Brooklyn Citizens 4-3 in the world series coming back from a 3-1 deficit to do so. This is the second season in a row that Brooklyn let a commanding lead slip from their grasp.

2064 Playoffs:

World Series: Toronto Reds BC defeat Brooklyn Citizens (4-3)
ALCS: Toronto Reds BC defeat Golden State Warriors (4-2)
NLCS: Brooklyn Citizens defeat San Francisco 49ers (4-2)
WS MVP: CF George Brett (Toronto) - .367/.406/.467, 5 RBI

2064 AL Boyce Rigg Award (MVP): LF Lucas Rosas (2-time winner; Toronto Reds BC, 27, 24th overall pick out of Villanova in 2058). The gifted left fielder for Toronto tagged opposing pitchers for a .329 average and was voted the Boyce Rigg Award for 2064. Included in his season stats were 196 hits, 28 doubles, 2 triples, 48 home runs, 122 runs scored and 117 RBIs.

2064 NL Boyce Rigg Award (MVP): 2B Matt Monaco (Brooklyn Citizens, 32, 3rd overall pick out of Villanova in 2054). The Brooklyn second baseman put up a batting average of .289 with 22 doubles, 1 triple, 32 home runs and 97 RBIs.

2064 AL Vic Pacheco Award (Top Pitcher): SP LaVaughan Stewart (Los Angeles Galaxy, 26, 53rd overall pick out of University of Miami in 2052). Stewart compiled a 10-8 record in 34 starts, tallied 333 strikeouts in 221 innings and recorded a 1.95 ERA. Other clubs managed only a .185 batting average against him.

2064 NL Vic Pacheco Award (Top Pitcher): SP Josiah Weber (2-time winner; Phoenix Suns, 24, 6th overall pick out of Mississippi State in 2060). With a record of 20-5, Weber was certainly a worthy winner. He made 32 starts and posted 262 innings, 339 strikeouts and a 2.06 ERA.

Shortlist:
SS Derek Jeter Jr. (Pittsburgh Pirates, 26) - .330/.380/.477, 10HR, 47 RBI in 76 Games with a 1.9 WAR. Fractured his ankle. Ugh.

SS Donny Jeter (Dallas Cowboys, 26) - .334/.402/.498, 13HR, 46 RBI in 80 games with a 2.0 WAR. Donny missed considerable time with hamstring issues. Ugh.

SS Darryl Jeter (Vancouver Whitecaps, 26) – Released by New York, Signed by Vancouver to a development contract. Running out of chances.

RF John Kruk (Green Bay Packers, 36) - .276/.358/.401, 16HR, 73 RBI in 160 games with a 1.5 WAR. Collected his 2000th hit on 6/14/2064.

RF Dave Winfield (Sunrise Supremos, 27) - .260/.361/.389, 7HR, 37 RBI in 100 games with a 1.2 WAR. Spent a season in the Bush Leagues… still not developing – injuries seem to have derailed his career.

Shortlisted Nerds (Former NCAA MIT Equations players):
RP Nuccio Croce (Green Bay Packers, 25) – Pitched 7 innings in 6 games after being called up from Cincy… posted a 10.29 ERA. Off to a solid start.

Shortlisted Stallyns (SAN DIMAS HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL RULES):
RP Spiro Vasquez (Los Angeles Galaxy, 24) – 1-4, 17 Saves, 2.23 ERA in 40 innings of work. 0.9 WAR… Potential tops out at 61, should be able to post a solid career… If only I had a telephone booth that could travel in time to find out.
