2020 NLDS MVP: St. Louis v. Atlanta
The 2020 Stroh's NLDS MVP Award goes to....
2B TONY FRENCH, STL. Round of Applause!
Perhaps some may be surprised that one of the three 1B sluggers that St. Louis plays did not win this award despite having success in the Atlanta series. Yet, St. Louis' real star was scoring machine Tony French who not only scored at least once in all 5 games but often had crucial tying runs. In addition to going 2-6 in Game 1, French hit a 2b in the top of the 9th to drive in a run and later be driven in to send the game to extra innings where St. Louis would win. Game 3 and French was on base for Larry Collins to tie the game up in the bottom of the 9th and send it into extra innings. Finally, in the clinching Game 5 French hit a 2 out triple in the bottom of the 9th. He would score and tie the game up on a Wild Pitch and St. Louis would go on to win it that inning. French showed a clutchness and mental toughness that only a Stroh's drinker could exhibit.
