Who Owned October (WOO) – Updated for October 12, 2022

(Jason Getz / Jason.Getz@ajc.com)

One game was a pitchers duel. One became a battle of the bullpens. Both NL Division Series are tied and a goose had the best seat in the house for one of them.

Who owned October on October 12?

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 12, 2022 –
