2011 World Series MVP: Miami v. Kansas City
The 2011 Stroh's World Series MVP Award goes to....
IF/OF EARL WEBSTER, MIA. Round of Applause!
Never in the history of the Stroh's Award has it gone to an offensive player with only 3 ABs in the series, or anywhere close to that. Yet, two of Earl Webster's ABs changed the course of the series and ensured a Miami victory. Skeptics will say that Webster was only lucky in others ineptitude and they may have a point but Webster was able to come up and make something happen and cash in when fortune blessed him. In Game 2 he put the game winning hit past Manolo Reyes for a 1-0 Miami victory and a 2-0 series lead. Then in Game 4 Webster again put the bat on the ball and FORCED Ryan Shelton into making an Error which scored the tying run. Earl Webster himself would cross the plate on a Luis Manuel Romero hit to end up the winning run in a 11-10 Miami victory. In his only other AB in Game 5 he struck out making his MVP line: 1-3, 1 R, 2 RBI. But in Miami that line will be remembered as 1 WINNING RUN, 1 WINNING RBI, and 1 TYING RBI. Knock back a sixer of ICE COLD Stroh's Earl, only a Stroh's man makes magic in limited opportunities!
