2008 NLDS MVP: Atlanta v. Pittsburgh

The 2008 Stroh's NLDS MVP Award goes to.....

3B JULIAN SPRINGER, ATL.  Round of Applause!

Springer is far from the typical series MVP winner, he posted a 2-27, 0.74 AVG, 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 HR, and 11 K's, so in other words he was terrible. Yet that all went out the window when Springer came to bat in the top of the 9th of Game 7.  With the score tied 1-1 and Will Page on 2nd with 1 out, Springer launched a Gary Miller changeup 330 ft. to just barely clear the fence and give Atlanta a 3-1 lead.  Atlanta was able to get the last 3 outs and win the emotional, up and down series with Pittsburgh and move on to the NLCS all due to Julian Springer's clutch HR.  Although you may be forgotten in the depths of EWB history, you'll always be able to relive this moment at the bottom of a bottle of Stroh's.  Bravo Mr. Springer...Bravo.
