Who Owned October (WOO) – Updated for October 11, 2022

Brett Davis – USA Today

The opening game of the Division Series had some great pitching performances, an all time dramatic homer and the Phillies stunning the champs thanks to a one man wrecking crew.

Who owned October on October 11?

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.
