October 6, 2009 FINAL UPDATE

Congratulations to John Agnello, our 2009 MLB Pool Champion. His seven correct categories are the second highest total in the five-year history of the pool, quite the accomplishment considering the significant number of injuries to star players this year.

Thanks to everyone for participating. We hope you all return for next year.

John Agnello is holding steady to his lead as we head into the last day of the season. Since yesterday's standings (below), he and Jon Pauley have each added Dustin Pedroia (AL runs) to their tallies, so Agnello goes into today's action looking to tie the all-time pool record for most correct categories with eight (Sid Harris - 2005).

It looks like the most likely scenario that could bump Agnello from the top spot would be a big day from Prince Fielder, who trails Ryan Howard for the NL RBI lead by three. If Fielder completely overtakes Howard, Jon Pauley will be our first repeat champion. If Howard holds onto at least a tie for the lead, Agnello will shed the bridesmaid label we previously bestowed on him.
