 ===== The Wrap Up =====
-Congrats to Wilson who deserves all the praise, what a year, some far-out picks paid off and Neezer wins his first Rockem Championship, ending John's reign. Perhaps no one was rooting harder for EWC than BK, but I digress. The top of the league was a pier six brawl as Mike Ryniec lead the whole shebang on September 1st only to drop down to 8th place by October 1st. What a crazy, mixed-up season.

 The Spearmint Rhinos however were in contention the whole run (owning April May and June) and ended up on top when the season terminated. The teams manager was even a bit prophetic as you can see with his [[http://rockemsockemfantasybaseball.com/2019_preview|answers in the preview]]:

 Last year we scrapped the bottom of the barrel for this award, but 2019 provided many candidates. Jorge Soler was a beast for Winston who went un-drafted while huge improvements from Mike Minor and Lucas Giolito gave joy to both Mike and the Commish respectively from the waiver wire garbage. However, before things got underway this year on March 28th John Ferrari picked up **[[https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/10036/|Ketel Marte**]]**  and it almost upended Rockem. Had it not been for The Polar Bears amazing season in Flushing, Marte would have received even more love as he demonstrated pop (juiced balls) never before hinted at in his brief career. Marte finished 14th overall and any of us could have drafted him. John picked him up though and almost ate for free because of it.

+Rockem Sockem is more than a league, it is a way of life. Baseball is at the foundation and showing the true spirit of what makes this world/baseball/life so amazing is why we have named this newest award after Winston Walters. The young man started the season [[http://rockemsockemfantasybaseball.com/2019_rockem_paradem|marching with us at a parade]] and now wins an award that will be forever named after him. He did this by showing some love to a fan who shared a foul ball with him. This is the true spirit of Rockem Sockem and life itself; good on you Winston. While this award may not be given out every year, it certainly starts with a bang and a hug.
