Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOWS (Who Owns the World Series.)
And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOWS to a worthy player on the losing team.

For a full explanation, click HERE.

From October 24th’s game:

Receiving 1 WOWS:

Carlos Beltran came back from a rib injury to collect 2 hits including a key RBI single that gave St. Louis an insurance run against the Red Sox as they took Game 2 of the World Series, 4-2.

Michael Wacha pitched 6 electric innings, keeping the Red Sox off of the board for the first 5 innings. He finished surrendering just 3 hits and 2 runs while striking out 6, earning his 4th October win for the Cardinals, 4-2.

Receiving 1/2 WOWS:

John Lackey was a hard luck loser, pitching into the 7th innings, being charged with 3 runs and striking out 6 along the way as the Red Sox lost 4-2 to the Cardinals.

David Ortiz homered and briefly gave the Red Sox the lead against the Cardinals. It would not hold as St. Louis triumphed, 4-2.

Current WOWS tallies:

Hitters

Carlos Beltran, Cardinals – 1 1/2

David Ortiz, Red Sox – 1 1/2

Pitchers

Jon Lester, Red Sox – 1

Michael Wacha, Cardinals – 1

John Lackey, Red Sox- 1 1/2
