2010 World Series MVP: Montreal v. Miami

The 2010 Stroh's World Series MVP Award goes to....

3B GARY WATSON, MON. Round of Applause.

Watson was solid for most of the World Series, hitting .286, 3 R, 1 HR, 2 2bs, 4 rbi, and throughout the entire postseason. However, this Award was won for one moment, the HR that defeated the Banditos' World Series hopes. With the Banditos coming off two consecutive wins to tie the series up 2-2, momentum was quickly shifting away from Montreal. That continued in Game 5 as David "DB" Marshall was cruising through 6 innings with a 3-0 lead. In the 7th IP the game got hairy as leadoff hitter Eddie Anderson reached base on a Perea error, followed by a BB to Todd Lister, and then a HBP on Curt Dickerson. Bases were loaded for Gary Watson and on an 0-1 count he launched a Grand Slam off of Marshall to take the Knights up 4-3. Montreal would win Game 5 and Watson would earn Player of the Game. Miami was never able to recover and Montreal went on to win the World Series in six. Stroh's would like to reward Watson with our new line of Non-Alcoholic beer, in fact it's a lifetime supply.
