Even if Cunningham’s Falmouth team were a playoff team, no way on Earth would he win MVP over Roller.

Roller is a triple crown candidate and will likely finish in the top three in hitting.

@ivytex31 Thanks for commenting on CodBall. We also are fans of The Last Best League and interviewed the author at the All-Star Game in ’07: http://www.codball.com/2007/07/30/codball-conversation-jim-collins-author-of-the-last-best-league/

I just finished reading a great book about the 2002 Chatham A’s and the players on the team (Chris Iannetta of the Rockies, Tim Stauffer of the Padres, and several more still in the minors). A great read. It’s called The Last Best League, and the author followed around the Chatham A’s all summer 2002 chronicling the players and their dreams of making it to the bigs. I highly recommend it.

Roller’s the MVP, but only because Todd Cunningham’s Commodores are unlikely to make the playoffs.

But back to the original subject (books): Greg mentions the need for a “SABR-like encyclopedia” for the CCBL. I agree. Does anybody know where we might find statistics for the years prior to 1999? (Since then they are posted on the CCBL’s website.)

no comment about the book..zzzzzzz

Lets open the floor for some predictions on various league awards….this should be a separate post (hint-hint)…if you want a lot of comments, I would get busy on it.

Lets start with Most Valuable Player:

MVP-Kyle Roller (Bourne)
3rd-batting average
1st-home runs
T2nd-RBI’s
T2nd-hits
1st-2B’s
2nd-OBP
1st-SLG
1st-Extra base hits
3rd-runs scored

Anyone have a better candidate?
