A year ender

Brett Christopherson of the PC has a column on the year that was Wisconsin Timber Rattlers baseball.
The task, as presented by the powers-that-be, was to revisit once more the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers' 2009 Midwest League season — to reminisce as our local minor league baseball club kicked off what figures to be a long affiliation with the home state Milwaukee Brewers.

Fine. But rather than bore our faithful readers with a bunch of blah-blah, let's add a pinch of pizzazz to this normally mundane assignment. Let's, in keeping with the culinary theme, kick it up a notch, shall we?
BAM!
So, I present to you the first annual Bronze Baseball Extravaganza, an awards presentation related to all things Rattlers.

The drill is simple. Listed are a handful of categories designed to highlight the '09 campaign. Winners are announced and given the coveted Bronze Baseball. (We requested gold, but hey, budgets are tight these days).

Anyway, sit back, relax and know as you gaze upon the snowy landscape that pitchers and catchers are due to report for spring training in just seven weeks.
I'm going to make you click through to get the winners, but here are the categories for...The Bronzies*

Best Prospect: Position Player

Best Prospect: Pitcher

Biggest Disappointment

Most Memorable Game

Lifetime Achievement Award

Homer of the Year

Unquotable Quote Award

*-Bronzies are not in the column. Brett is too good to come up with a hackneyed term like that. I, on the other hand -- as shown by my lame Emeril reference above, am not too good.
