C ROBERT BRYANT, HOU.  Round of Applause!

Robert Bryant is a sure fire Hall of Famer and may even contend with his future colleague, Vincent Carter, as the league's best catcher ever. However, one thing missing from Bryant's resume is a World Series. His only other postseason was the with the 2006 Black Gold when they lost the World Series to Washington DC. At 37 Bryant realizes that this year may be his last real shot and he's playing with a fervor. In the NLCS against Atlanta: Bryant got at least a hit in every single game; hit 11-25, .440 avg, 3 runs, 1 HR, and 7 RBIs; was named Player of the Game in Game 5; got a crucial walk in the bottom of the 11th which allowed his pinch runner to eventually score the game/series winning run in Game 6.  In all Bryant was the most consistent and also the most productive Houston player. He helped lead a slight underdog Black Gold team to a pretty convincing NLCS title over the perennial powerhouse Atlanta Confederates. Kick up your feet old man, your playing days aren't over yet but you can still drown those catcher's knees in a bucket of ice cold Stroh's...on the house champ.
