WHO OWNED THE WORLD SERIES (#WOWS) and WHO OWNED OCTOBER (#WOO) – TALLIES UPDATED FOR WORLD SERIES GAME 2, October 21, 2020

Sue Ogrocki – AP

And with that win, the Rays have made sure that now, we have a Series!

Who owned October on October 21

Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOO (Who Owns October.)

And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOO’S to a worthy player on the losing team.

But the World Series deserves its own stats. WOWS (Who Owns the World Series.)

At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter. The WOWS total will be kept separately. Each game now counts towards both tallies.

A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.

From October 21, 2020 –

GAME 2 of the World Series

Aaron Loup threw a highly stressed innings of shutout ball to help the Rays win over the Dodgers, 6-4.
