The Whitecaps 2007 season was as successful off the field as it was on. The team captured its fifth Midwest League Championship in 14 years and the franchise was also named the Class A Team of the Year by MiLB.com. Now, the ‘Caps have another award to add to the trophy shelf. Earlier today, Minor League Baseball named the Whitecaps the winner of the Larry MacPhail Promotional Trophy for all of the minor leagues.“This is a huge honor for our promotions department, lead by Mickey Graham and Brian Oropallo, and our entire staff,” said Whitecaps Vice President Jim Jarecki. “2007 was a special year and this adds that extra celebration to the season.”
In early October, the Whitecaps received the Larry MacPhail Promotional Trophy for the Midwest League. With that win, the team was placed in contention for the award on the national level. There were 11 total nominees for the national award, representing the 11 leagues in minor league baseball.
In case you are keeping track, they on the MWL championship, MiLB.com's Class A Team of the Year, and now the MacPhail award. I think they might be up for an Oscar in March. But, that's just a guess.
