2009 World Series MVP: Omaha v. Miami

The 2009 Stroh's World Series MVP Award goes to....

SP MANOLITO CALDERON, OMA. Round of Applause.

No player in the World Series was more instrumental in securing a Wolverine victory in the World Series than Manolito Calderon who pitched 2 spectacular games and was essentially unhittable. Calderon took the ball in Game 1 in the Polo Grounds and led Omaha to a decisive victory. He was able to go 7.1 innings, give up only 4 hits, strikeout 8 Banditos, and throw 124 pitches to get the Win. Omaha's bullpen would take over from there and snag 1 from Miami in Miami to start the World Series. Though, it was Calderon's pressure packed Game 7 performance that enthralled Wolverine nation. After Miami's glorious comeback in Game 6 the momentum was building for them and they were steaming to claim the title in the Polo Grounds. Yet Calderon was able to walk out there and maim the potent Banditos offense. He threw 8.1 IP and allowed only 2 hits and, of course, o runs. Again he went deep in the game, this time throwing 121 pitches. Calderon was also able to out do probable 2009 Postseason Stud Pitcher of the Year, Travis Bane. Calderon TWICE went into Polo Grounds and faced one of the best teams in EWB and TWICE he came out the victor and the Player of the Game. For that, Stroh's would like to send him a 40 oz. beer and a brand new Stroh's ballpoint pen in addition to his Award.
