In a contest between the winningest AAA team and the AAA representative of arguably the finest top to bottom franchise in either league it was the 42's that came out on top. After losing the first game of the series the 42's went on to sweep the last 4 games to take the AAA crown.
What the series lacked in drama was made up for in Star Power. Both squads boasted a slew of future Major Leaguers. Pitchers Joey Romero & Enrique Moraga along with 2B Hugh Branson headlined the Chew AAA team. 1B Yamid Encarnacion and pitchers Sammy Henriquez & Mendy Griffin are certain to be starring for the 42's ML team in the near future.
After hitting 4 HR's and driving in 8 runs 42's Catcher Mateo Medrano was named series MVP.
Career Minor Leaguer and former 42er Norm Cooper was bittersweet about the victory. "It was nice to see alot of my former teammates and friends out there celebrating but it killed me at the same time. We really wanted this one."
