It's not long until the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox take the field for the World Series.
So what does that mean…other than we're on the cusp of a World Series that none of us here at The Hall of Very Good predicted? It means that it's time to start handing out awards.
Now, per the rules of the Baseball Bloggers Alliance, we're not allowed to call our awards by their more common names, but my guess is that you'll figure out what is what. You're a smart lot.
