'Cal Raleigh won the Baseball Digest/Inside Edge major league player of the year award Friday, narrowly beating out Aaron Judge."

"The switch-hitting catcher from the Seattle Mariners, who became the seventh player to hit 60 home runs in a season, received 12 of 24 first-place votes and finished with 56 points in balloting by a panel of baseball writers and broadcasters that included several former players, managers and executives."

"Judge was chosen first on eight ballots, and the New York Yankees outfielder garnered 53 points. Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani got the other four first-place votes and came in a distant third."

"Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes was selected pitcher of the year by a wide margin over Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal, and Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman was a runaway winner for reliever of the year."

"Raleigh and Judge are expected to run 1-2 in some order in what could be another close vote for AL MVP when results are announced next month." My prediction is Aaron Judge. 


The Fantastic HR 4 will return this Saturday to hit more dingers. 

MVP vs MVP vs MVP HRD vs MVP ASG

Some words of wisdom, 4 score and 7 years ago the Fantastic HR 4 were born to hit dingers.

And now their theme song, When the moonshot hits your eye like a big pizza pie  that's the Fantastic  HR 4 amore.

Can't wait to watch the game tomorrow. With a slice of pepperoni pizza, one hot dog, and a cola. 

Shohei's postseason pitching debut. Wow! Shohei vs Kyle.  MVP vs MVP ASG. Hr 55 pitching to hr 56! Just wow! Last meeting, Shohei won, hitless 5 ip and 5 ks. This time, I don't know,  maybe two homers from Kyle.
