As another season of Major League Baseball comes to end, the Dominican presence in the sport has been consolidated even further. Pitcher Fausto Carmona of the Cleveland Indians is this year's front-runner for the AL Cy Young Award, and he was named pitcher of the month for September. Big Papi David Ortiz was named player of the month for September and Yankees star Alex Rodriguez is the odds-on favorite to win this years MVP award in the American League. Carlos Pena of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays broke club records this year in homeruns (46) RBI (121) and Walks (103). In the National League Alfonso Soriano led the Cubs drive into the post-season and although shortstop Jose Reyes was part of one of the biggest collapses in MLB history, his play consolidated his status as one of the game's best young stars. All of the eight Major League teams in this year's playoffs have at least two Dominicans on their rosters.
