Yeah, it was Creighton again. Unanimously, for both. But will he be back in '85?

Meanwhile in the AA, John O'Rourke of Elizabeth took the MVP, while Andy Allen of the Marylands took Pitcher of the Year honours.

And in the Union, Harry Stovey won the MVP, with six St. Louis players finishing in the top six in voting; while John Ryan of the Maroons won Pitcher of the Year. Wait a minute...Maroons...?

Yes, indeed. St. Louis owner Henry Lucas was so upset that his club lost the Cup that he declared the "Cardinals" name "bad luck" and had new uniforms made with the name "Maroons". So, Maroons it is! [Editor's note: The real-life UA team was called the Maroons, which I like better than 'Cardinals', and besides as a Tigers fan I hate the Cardinals anyway. So, I fixed it. That's it. Thanks for reading.]
