2009 ALDS MVP: Kansas City v. Washington

The 2009 Stroh's ALDS MVP Award goes to....

SP JAKE HATFIELD, KC.  Round of Applause!

The Ace of the Wheat Kings actually did not even get a decision in Game 1 and the Wheat Kings ended up losing, so that made this decision slightly tougher. However, Hatfield still pitched extraordinarily well in Game 1, going 8.0 IP and 0 ER but 1 unearned run. He turned the 1-1 game over to Dennis O'Dell who inevitably gave up the game winner to Washington. Hatfield really earned this award in a crucial Game 6 with the series tied 2-2. Hatfield pitched 8.1 IP and 0 ER with 4 K's. That was enough to beat Washington and James Beauregard 2-0 and take a big 3-2 series lead. Hatfield was named Player of the Game for Game 6. Throw your hat off Hatfield and celebrate the cool victory over the Admirals. Toss a Stroh's back like you'd toss an Admiral off his ship, partna!
