1B ROBERT LEE, MIN. Round of Applause!!

 

Many baseball pundits have been referring to 2018 as the year of the small markets. Minneapolis and Memphis World Series included two of the smallest markets in baseball. Include Indy and Montreal's success combined with the lack of success in New York, Chicago, Brooklyn, Dallas, and others and you can see that there is a renaissance among the smaller market teams. Make no mistake though, the small market tag does not mean less potent. Real baseball fans saw this matchup as one for the ages, both teams came on strong after weak starts and both teams looked amazingly potent in the playoffs. The series was legendary and for the 2nd time in the playoffs Minneapolis won 3 straight to overcome a 3-1 series deficit. Leading the charge was star player Robert Lee. Lee compiled a .536/.567/.929 line with 3 HRs and 8 RBI and was a force to be reckoned with in all 7 games. ALDS Stroh's MVP Kealaalohi Nerida had perhaps the most dramatic moment with his pinch hit 3 run HR in the top of the 9th. Also, Tanner Frazier closed the last 3 games out with out allowing a single hit. Congrats to Robert Lee and the Mutiny on a job well done!
