#4: The "Boogey-man Award": The man most feared at the plate. This is the Barry Bonds of old, the man pitchers dread having to pitch to and often don't. In fact, every time this man walks up to the plate they look over to the pitching coach and beg for that "free pass" sign.

And.....the S12 "Boogey-Man" Award goes to: Jimmie Segui of the San Diego Surf Sharks (75-87). Segui is Hobb's first "Iron-Man"/"Boogey-Man," and with good reason, Segui led the league in homeruns (60), RBI's (150), slugging percentage (.656), and 1.047 OPS (1.047). With those stats Segui convincingly takes the title of "Boogey-Man" long held, and inspired by, Jim Killebrew of the Milwaukee High Lifes (63-99). No pitcher wants to be on the mound when this guys at the plate! Congratulations to Jimmie Segui on winning this years Boogey-man award!

#5: The "Base Burglar Award": This award goes to the Rickey Henderson's of the league, was inspired by a Hobb's man named Hawk, and goes to the man who burglarizes the most bases throughout the season.

And.....the S12 "Base Burglar Award" goes to: Bobby Mientkiewicz of the El Paso TaTa's (88-74). Mientkiewicz is no stranger to this award, he has won it 4 times over the last 5 seasons, only having been beat out once by Cesar Pena of the Scranton Blue Collars.
