Who Owned October (#WOO) Tallies Updated for AL Division Series Game 4 and NL Division Series Game 4 – October 12, 2021

 Hyosub Shin/hshin@ajc.com

So much for the Brewers going to the World Series… the Astros and Braves advance and the Giants and Dodgers prepare for a showdown.

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, 2021 –
