"Parisian' Bob Caruthers has already been called "The New Creighton" after being awarded the MVP trophy now named for the legendary star. And what a season Caruthers had, not only with the bat, but by winning twenty games on the mound!
Meanwhile, Bill Black of the Reds won 26 games and the Pitcher of the Year:
In the AA, Ed Crane of American Cup champion Indianapolis won the MVP -- he and the rest of the Hoosiers will be plying their trade in the NA in '88 -- while Buffalo's Alex Voss won pitching honours. Finally, Bill Boyd of Kansas City was voted MVP of the Union, while Toronto's Mark Baldwin was awarded Pitcher of the Year.
