2045.6: Hoshino for Gillstrom!

Post by Rubaboo » Tue Feb 02, 2021 3:08 pm

2045 awards voting is almost in the books, as GMs from around the league have mostly submitted their ballots. Either through carelessness or disbelief, someone inside the league offices leaked the list for the Gillstrom Newcomer of the Year Award vote. A big surprise was to see that Mexico City CF Sachi Hoshino's name on a ballot. With a third place vote even! In a year to forget for the Aztecs, Hoshino is embracing the support from a secret admirer somewhere in the league,

"It's fun to get recognized at all in a league-wide vote, much less with a third place! I'm excited and would like to thank whoever it was who voted for me. I appreciate your support very much."

Aztec GM Fred Holmes denied that he provided the high vote for the Aztec player: "It wasn't me, this isn't Phoenix... I like Sachi, but I always try to apply a little integrity to the process. It was probably Lederer up in Boise, thinking he was swiping right on some co-ed at Boise State."

We may never truly know who the voter was who was so enamored with Hoshino's 2045 but it doesn't matter to the fledgling CF who says he has plans to commemorate the occasion.

"I definitely will find a way to remember this. I'm not big on tattoos but something like this may be worth immortalizing."

Sources close to the Mexico City organization revealed that Hoshino has talked to the Aztec equipment management staff about potentially changing his number to 8 if he sticks in the majors for next season. 8 happens to be the number of points a third place ballot is worth.
