Hello and happy Saturday. I hope you have a great day.
Earlier in the week it was confirmed that the San Francisco Giants will have a Willie Mac Award in 2020, despite...well...everything. The Giants will play at least 102 fewer games than in a normal year, and they had a truncated camp, but the players will still vote on a member of the team that exemplifies the tremendous spirit of Willie McCovey.
It would certainly seem like it’s Mike Yastrzemski’s award to lose, but it’s worth remembering that it’s not meant to reward performance, but rather spirit.
