Every team has an MVP certificate to redeem, and Managers or the honored player can come to the office and see Kim Callanan, Tony Anarumo or Rob Giffen to get the award order taken care of. The team award, which goes to any team winning at least 5 games in the World Series, can be redeemed at the office as well. Please also see Tony, Kim or Rob to redeem your award. Drink water Even if it is a little cool, this still stands true Drink Water. This is just a reminder that with the heat and the humidity that everyone needs to stay hydrated. The heat is sneaky. Don t let it sneak up on you. Everyone needs to keep drinking water before games and throughout games. Once you get into a heat problem, you cannot make up the lost fluid in a hurry, and it takes time to replace a body s fluids once they are depleted. Pitching For the record, here is a recap on the rules on pitching eligibility for the playoffs. Roy Hobbs requirement is that all pitchers who will be starters or closers in save situations (3-run or less difference in the 8 th and 9 th innings) qualify for the playoffs by pitching at least 2 innings 6 outs or 15 hitters during pool play. This is a reminder to all managers that all pitching statistics need to be updated through the first 4 games by noon Wednesday. Finally, in the playoffs, those non-qualified middleinning pitchers will come to the mound from their normal defensive positions where they started the game. It is important as the spirit of the rule is that these nonqualified pitchers who are used as inning-eaters are players who ordinarily are playing other positions. So here s a reminder to Managers to enter their statistics after each game on line. The program will give you cumulative totals for all your games, and Roy Hobbs will be checking those on Wednesday morning to produce pitching data to determine which pitchers will be eligible for starting-closing roles in the playoffs. If you need assistance, please contact Rob Giffen at World Series Headquarters. 10-, 15- & 20-year recognition Have you been at the Roy Hobbs World Series 10 or more years? see NOTEBOOK on page 7
7 Notebook continued from page 6 If so, Roy Hobbs has a recognition pin for players with 10 or 15 or 20 years at the Tournament. See Kim, Rob, Tony, or Tom at RHWS headquarters to get your pin. Ice for the injured Just a reminder that Roy Hobbs is willing to furnish ice for injuries. However, we advise managers from the start that they need to provide ice for pitchers arms, if needed. That s something to plan for injuries are another story. For injuries, please contact Hobbs personal at the field site for assistance.
