2019 NLCS MVP: San Francisco v. St. Louis
The 2019 Stroh's NLCS MVP Award goes to....
LF ROOSEVELT PRESTON, SF. Round of Applause.
How many Stroh's Award winners bat .188 during a series and are platoon players? Well Preston can now raise his hand. Despite this poor aggregate showing Preston was Mr. Clutch when it counted during the series. Roosevelt Preston was directly responsible for driving in two game winning runs in San Francisco's defeat of St. Louis 4-3 in the NLCS. In Game 1 Preston came up in the bottom of the 10th with a runner on 2nd and 1 out and singled off of feared Antonio Gonzalez to win the game! Preston put up 0-fers in Games 3, 4, and 5 and wasn't even played in Game 2. Yet when Everett Blake found himself in the bottom of the 11th in Game 6 he pulled the cleanup hitter Butch Wilkerson in favor of Preston. Preston nonchalantly responded with a walk off HR. Despite not playing Preston in Game 7, SF was able to bring home the victory somehow.
