VERLANDER WINS AL CY YOUNG

Congratulations to Justin Verlander as the unanimous choice for the American League Cy Young Award.
JV becomes the Tigers' first Cy Young winner since Guillermo Hernandez
in 1984.
He's the first Tigers' starting pitcher to win it since Denny McLain in 1969.
Verlander topped all AL pitchers with 24 wins, a 2.40 ERA and 250 strikeouts, becoming the first Tigers' hurler to capture the pitching Triple Crown since Hal Newhouser in 1945!!

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT...

Well, the National League's version of the Yankees won the World Series.

THE THING THAT WOULDN'T DIE

That was a great ballgame.
Game 7 of the World Series will be tonight.
Those freakin' Cardinals won't die.
St. Louis was down to their last strike of the season - TWICE - and each time they found a way to comeback.
David Freese hit a walkoff homer in the bottom of the 11th to beat Texas
10-9.

RACKAPALOOZA

Game 6 of the World Series was rained-out.
The HBWHOF is almost ready to wrap-it-up until Spring Training.
Last week's RACK-OFF! has resulted in our first-ever unanimous winner!!
Racks on the Rocks was completely dominated by Contestant #1 who took 100% of the votes!!!!



That's the last RACK-OFF! of the 2011 season. What a way to end it!
Don't worry, the HBWHOF is not going to leave you empty-handed.
I've got a special treat.
