MLB Heavyweight Champion

If MLB champs were decided like boxing: beat the champ, and you're the champ.

The 2008 season started with the Red Sox as champs. They were beaten by the A's, who were beaten back by Boston, who were then swept by Toronto, who lost to Oakland, who lost to Cleveland, and so on, until we reached our current champion.

The Heavyweight of the Year is the team that wins the most title bouts at the end of the season.

Current Champion (as of 8/12):
Milwaukee Brewers

1 I prefer that my umpires employ Northern Shaolin Long Fist style, but I guess Southern Praying Mantis style works if the options are limited.

there's a lot going on in this picture. the umpire is rehearsing for the air guitar championships, while vernon wells(?) seems to be looking for some immodium. kendall seems oblivious, lost in a game of catch.

2 Southern Praying Mantis is good against Kendall's Backward Monkey Fist, that's why.

Knowing that Vernon Wells was a quarterback in HS (in Texas, no less), the umpire figured Wells would appreciate having the Heisman pose struck to commemorate his striking out.
