Filewich was MVP & scored 13 points in each of Wofford’s 3 games against the # 3, 7 & 5th place teams.

PJay scores 24, 25, & 27 against the # 4, 1 & 6th place teams for an average of 25.6 points. I call BS on the MVP. Filewich should not accept it & give it to PJay.

A shame that the tradition in sports is to give the MVP to someone on the winning team.

Congrats to Wofford on a game well played!

Typical SoCon BS. They do a great job at nothing. Can’t even find postgame press conferences.

NEW YORK -- It’s been 61 years since former Yankees second baseman Bobby Richardson had a World Series for the ages. Yes, when people think of the 1960 Fall Classic, they think of Bill Mazeroski’s Game 7 homer -- the first series-clinching walk-off HR in MLB history -- that gave the Pirates their first championship since '25. But Richardson was the man, and MVP, of that seven-game series, the only player in baseball history to win the award on the losing team.

Richardson set the record for the most RBIs in the series with 12, which still stands today. Former Yankees public relations director Marty Appel calls him every October to tell him that the record is still intact.

“Appel knows that in Sumter, South Carolina, we don’t always follow [the record] really close,” the 86-year-old Richardson said via telephone. “So he makes sure I know.”

Richardson said he sometimes runs into Pirates fans while vacationing on Pawleys Island in South Carolina, and they will tell him that Mazeroski was the MVP.

“It’s nothing personal. They are good baseball fans," Richardson said. "The average person doesn’t realize [what I did]."
