It's time to announce the winners of the two PPA awards! Here are the final standings:
Batting Title
#1: legendsofthenorth .355
#2: Funkytown .353
#3: tfundermann .350
Slugging Title
#1: tfundermann 23 XBH
#2: Funkytown 21 XBH
#3: Danchat 17 XBH
As a collective, we had a waaay better year, up from .245 in 2021 to .290, and the slugging went nuts going from .390 to .543. We had 13 more 2Bs, 7 more 3Bs, and 2 more HRs. Still waiting for our first GS, though. The strong PPA season definitely correlated with a successful Vikings season.
Both races were a blast to watch, as both came down to the Super Bowl weekend to come through. Funkytown nearly passed up tfundermann right at the end with Funky hitting 2 2Bs on the SB, but she came up 2 points short. The batting average race was even closer, as legendsofthenorth scraped by with a narrow win, going 11 for 31 compared to Funky's 12 for 34 and Tad's 14 for 40.
A few notable players who did not qualify: Our friend @aussie61 went 1 for 11, and I even warned him about some crazy predictions... perhaps he will be the first to hit a grand slam. Drew Bunting went 2 for 6, but with 2 HRs! We've only had 7 HRs hit in the three year history of PPA, so it's too bad he didn't come back to hit more dingers!
Under small sample sizes, azviksfan88 , ocampo82 , and NoresemanSam all would have contended for both awards as they had a combined 27 XBH despite only 17 predictions. dauntessmallhands rounds up the caboose going 0 for 6, while we had another 10 users fail to get a single prediction right.
The winners will be contacted shortly about their prize. We hope to see you participate next year - and remember, you can make predictions at any time! Feel free to start with some 2023 predictions and go nuts.
