Hamels named MVP of World Series
Phillies SP Cole Hamels won a World Series MVP award Wednesday night without throwing a pitch. Only fitting, because he owned October all the way. Hamels made five postseason starts for the Phillies and went 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA, a dazzling display of pressure pitching that earned him two trophies. Already the Most Valuable Player of the NLCS, the lanky lefty duplicated that feat with two terrific starts against Tampa Bay and joined Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt (1980) as the only World Series MVPs in Philadelphia history. "This is something that you have to live for," Hamels said after the Phillies wrapped up the Series with a 4-3 victory in Game 5. "Going out there, I knew I had a job to do."
