Team Awards

The Team Awards categories were emailed to everyone on the Surrey Indians roster except one (he doesn't have email). All the recipients replied back before the deadline except two. There were two rules: 1) One entry per category; and 2) You cannot vote for yourself. These two rules were broken by four players. One Indian voted for two players in one category (both votes were tallied), two Indians each voted for themselves once (after careful consideration and a beer or two, both votes were tallied), and one Indian voted for himself in two categories (he has been given an appropriately lengthy detention).

Instead of announcing just the winner of each category, which was our original plan, we have decided to include all entries received. If you don't like it, eat it. Entries are listed in order of most-votes to least-votes, with the total number of votes, if more than one, in brackets.

(One late submission came Friday morning. The tallies have been revised)
