So what was his reaction to being named the winner of the Joe Nuxhall Good Guy Award by the Cincinnati chapter of Baseball Writers’ Association of America?
“I can’t believe it,” Griffey said. “I’m in shock.”…The vote for the Nuxhall Award for Griffey was unanimous.
I’m happy for Griffey, though I’m surprised that this award didn’t go to Casey again.
The BBWAA also named Griffey the most valuable player. Aaron Harang won the Johnny Vander Meer Award as the outstanding pitcher.
I have a bit of an issue with Griffey as team MVP, though I know the argument could be raised. Harang was a no-doubter for the Vander Meer.
Leave it to the Reds to have a pitchers award named after a .500 pitcher with an ERA slightly better than the league average.
But to the average fan, you say Reds pitching and one of the first names to come to mind is Vander Meer.
Better than the Tom Browning Award.
Careful Chris, you’ll have Chad after you if you go gettin’ on Browning.
Is it trolling if it’s one editor to another?
