The MLB Awards Week is here and the heavy hardware is being handed out. That means it time of our winners also. First off, a few congratulations are in order though for some impressive milestones that were passed. Leading off is a couple of Yankees. Mariano Rivera become the all-time saves leader and ended the season with 603 saves. Derek Jeter whacked his 3000th hit and became the first player in Pinstripes to eclipse that mark. And all around good guy, Jim Thome joined the 600 home run club. The St Louis Cardinals won their 11th World Series title and afterwards Tony LaRussa retired. LaRussa is a great coach and had a great career, hopefully there is room in the Hall of Fame for his ego.
A couple of pretty impressive streaks ended this season too. Ichiro had a streak of 10 concestutive seaons with at least 200 hits. He fell short and only hit safely 184 this season. The man, Albert Pujols missed his 11th straight .300/30/100 season by a nose hair. His season ended at 299/37/99. That's right, Pujols needed one rbi and one more hit or one less at bat. A kick in the balls in if you ask me.
