2005 Fog Post Season Award: ROY
AP - Fog HQ, Seattle, WA
With their 11th regular season complete, the Fog turns it's eyes towards the playoffs. As the 5th seed, they take on nemesis, Kenny at 6:15 tonight at MAG 4. Following in the rich tradition of recognizing select players for awards, the Fog wasted no time in bestowing the 2005 Fog Rookie of the Year Award to Brent Amsbary.
Brent made his Fog debut in 2001, going 1 for 3, driving in two with a triple. Though it would be another three years before he appeared again in Fog uniform, he always remained on the Fog's short list of top prospects. Following the 2004 season, Brent was the #1 off season priority for Fog management. Said XA Steve Boyd, "We always have a wandering eye for talent, especially those that are younger." So, coming off a championship in 2004, the Fog looked to add on to a deep and talented roster and made an offer to Brent that couldn't be refused. Though the terms of the deal were kept confidential and are contractually enforced by team lawyer Daniel S Houser, internet rumors have led to speculation that the deal centered around having his jersey logo centered towards his navel.
Brent did not disappoint, driving in 13 while hitting .636, he even silenced his critics who said he had no speed by hitting a triple that would have been a double for most men.
As Brent makes his first appearance in the post season, I would encourage each member to pull him aside and share with him one or two pieces of wisdom of how they deal with the additional pressures.
