2008 ALDS MVP: Omaha v. Philadelphia

The 2008 Stroh's ALdS MVP Award goes to.....

LF JOSEPH "G-FUNK" JOHNSON. Round of Applause.

Johnson had competition for the Award as several Wolverines put up a great series, including veteran Tom Travis.  However Johnson not only put up gaudy numbers but also came through in clutch situations and was a model of consistency and dependability.  Johnson's 6 game stat line was as follows:  12-30, .400 AVG, 7 runs, 10 RBI, and 1 HR.  Johnson was named Player of the Game in Game 2 when he 3-6, 1 R, and 3 RBIs.  Omaha scored 7 runs in the last two innings to overcome a 9-3 Philly lead and Johnson was huge in that rally.  In the eighth inning with bases loaded Johnson hit a 2 run single and he did it again in the ninth with a bases loaded single to knock in the game winner. Johnson has found a way to come up with big hits when Omaha needs them.  Crack open this Ice Cold Stroh's and get funkified tonight, Joseph, you deserve it.
