Ernie Austin hits a walk off double. He goes 2 for 5 with 2 RBI and 1 run scored. He accounts for all of our runs. So player of the game, right? Wrong. Player of the game was our catcher Vince Corrigan who was 2 for 4 with 0 RBI and 0 runs(PR for in the ninth). But he did have 3 caught stealing and no stolen bases against. This is the first time I have seen that defensive stats may be factors in determining player of the game. Any other examples?

League III.1 2B Gold Glove winner Hal James was #2 on the league error board with 21 errors on the season. Not sure what it does factor in. Maybe just whoever had the most defensive innings at each position?

I assume it's because Perry's error counted against him so defensive factors came into the calculation again. Although Ohgi also drew a walk so maybe it's because his OBP for the game was better.
