2011 Aragorn MVP

MIDDLE EARTH - The winners of the 2011 Aragorn Most Valuable Player awards for the Shire and Mordor Conferences have been determined by ballot of the owners. In the Mordor Conference, it was another easy victory for Minas Morgul's Isilborn Imrilron. He was named first on 2/3 of all ballots, far outpacing the second-place finisher, Posco Sackville of Rohan. The only other player receiving a 1st place votes was Todo Sandybanks of Dead Marshes.

Imrilron just missed becoming the league's first Triple Crown winner, finishing 5 points behind Sackville in Batting Average (.336), while leading the league in HR (50) and RBI (127). He was again the only player in the league to get 50 homeruns, and he won his 7th Sam Gamgee Batter award (now 6 in a row). This is Cheese Crusher's 3rd MVP in Mordor (his 5th overall).

The Shire Conference race was a lot closer, with two players tied in the number of 1st place votes. In the end, Mirkwood's Minto "The Admiral" Gamwich narrowly defeated Pimth Gäldor of Bucklebury for his first MVP award. Gamwich was also named the Shire Sam Gamgee Batter for the first time, and he helped lead the Marauders to their 4th league title. He hit .273 with 41 HR (tied for 1st) and 113 RBI (4th), while stealing 61 bases (2nd). Other players who received 1st place votes were Bywater's Lester Pulley and Rivendell's Loopy Squishmasher.
