AWARD NAMES
The Pitcher of the Year award is named after Nelson Mares. While he may no longer be the all-time wins leader (that's now an honor that's bestowed upon David Bowman), this guy's career was insane.

Considering he spent most of his years playing on a below average Colorado City team, he has SIX seasons of ERAs under 2.00 during his career. He had thirteen 20+ win seasons.

The MVP is named after Lars-Erik Johansen, given his performance as both a starting pitcher AND a hitter during his illustrious career, as the only guy to win pitcher of the year AND an MVP during his career. (No one has ever done it the same year.)
