There’s a new Triple Crown winner — Royals ace Gildor *Inglorion powered his way to the top of the Shire Conference in wins, strikeouts and ERA. He was the league’s best in all three major pitching categories. In his superb year, the 34-year-old hurler chalked up 21 wins, totaled 247 strikeouts and posted a 2.12 ERA. *Inglorion finished the year 21-6. It looks like a Gandalf Pitcher Award might be in his future, too.
Speaking to the press about the award, “It’s quite an honor to win the pitching Triple Crown. It’s good to be rewarded for hard word. I just do whatever it takes to stay at the top of my game. I have a strong work ethic and pride myself on being the best. My teammates deserve a lot of credit, too. I didn’t do this all by myself.”
How good a year did *Inglorion have? One opposing batter put it this way: “We’re doing the best we can. But when you’ve got God on the mound throwing against you, it makes it a little tough.”
