Meanwhile. the AA MVP was John O'Rourke of Elizabeth, narrowly defeating (by 12 first-place votes to 8) home run-hitting sensation Dave Orr of Baltimore. The Pitcher of the Year was O'Rourke's resolute (and Resolute) teammate George Derby.

In the UA, Harry Stovey of St. Louis was the MVP, with Charles "Lady" Baldwin of Detroit taking pitching honours, ("Lady" got that nickname because he didn't smoke or drink. Times have changed.)

[Editor's note: I was all set to retire Creighton manually when I discovered the game had already done it for me! I thought for sure he'd be allowed to play until he was at least 50! (Hey, Gordie Howe did it!)]
