2011 NLDS MVP: Brooklyn v. St. Louis

The 2011 Stroh's NLDS MVP Award goes to....

RF MARIO MERCADO, BRK. Round of Applause!

Like his AL counterpart, Ty Johnston, Mercado got off to a slow start in the series, going 0-7 in the first 2 games. However, after that it was a tear unlike any ever. In Games 3,4, and 5 Mercado put up 10 hits, 5 runs, 4 HRs, and an amazing 14 RBI. Mercado would win Player of the Game in both Game 4 and 5 which were crucial wins for Brooklyn. Mercado cooled down slightly in Games 6 and 7 but the damage was done to St. Louis who saw their fortune swing. Mercado is proving that he may become the next great star in EWB and his postseason exploits will help carve the myth. Have a twelver of Ice cold Stroh's while sitting on your Brooklyn stoop pondering your defeat at the hands of the Miami Banditos.
