A-Rod Wins MLB Clutch Performer of 2007 Award

Despite not delivering in postseason when clutch would have been a more appropriate use of the word, the New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez has been named the 2007 Major League Baseball's Clutch Performer of the Year.

Based on a few factors, including hitting the most game-tying or go ahead home runs (22 in total - although he was tied by Ryan Howard and Lance Berkman), and batting .463 with 8 home runs and 21 RBIs in ninth innings of games this year, A-Rod was chosen voted by fans from a list of 6 nominees chosen by a select panel.

Now, if only he could actually perform in postseason, he wouldn't even need to be clutch.
