2014 Awards 2

Alanna continues the Dodger dominance after Kershaw takes both MVP and Cy Young.

Even Puig gets an award.

Most often soaked reporter

Alanna Rizzo got caught in several thorough soakings in September and despite avoiding several throughout the year, she still ended up with a proper soaking 4 times highlighted by Kershaw's no hitter and a blue shower with Gonzalez

Most Damage

Alanna Rizzo's black and white dress with black heels probably needed some serious dry cleaning after the water and blue powerade shower scoring an 8 on the way to 3rd individual cooler.

Most publicity/timing

Alanna Rizzo earned bonus points getting caught in Kershaw's no hitter celebration scoring the high for the year in this category at 7. Plenty of pictures documented the no hitter

Dumping Dunce

During the celebration following Kershaw's no hitter, Puig manages to get just as much powerade on himself as he does on Clayton.  Maybe someone on the Dodgers can give him some tips on how to execute the powerade showers. Neither Yasiel nor Alanna look as happy as Kershaw to be caught in the celebration. Better luck next year Yasiel

Best Ice Bucket Challenge

Shannon Hogan took on the full challenge and soaked the entire outfit she worked the game in. She soon ended up with a walk off cooler but moved to a new job, ending her chances at any more soakings

2014 Awards

Congratulations to the Giants who ended the year with Bumgarner carrying them through the world series. During the offseason we'll post the best cooler showers of the last year. Here are this years "winners"

2014 Team Cooler Cup

The Astros started the year out strong with several early coolers soaking players and reporters but the reporters began dodging the coolers in the second half as the Dodgers ran away with the 2014 Team Cooler Cup title solidly catching reporters in the aftermath on numerous occasions, unfortunately for Alanna's soaked wardrobe.  https://mlblogsdodgersphotog.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/039.jpg: Kershaw's no hitter was one of the contributors to the Dodgers running away with the win

Dodgers: 86.5
Astros:  41.5
Padres: 30
Angels: 28

2014 Reporter Cooler Cup

A strong second half gives Alanna the run away win as she falls victim repeatedly after dodging them more frequently in the first half. Congratulations Alanna hopefully one of the Dodgers helps cover dry cleaning.

2014 Cooler Escaper

Alex Curry has been able to enjoy several players getting soaked, usually managing to avoid the aftermath. One of the many examples here: http://m.mlb.com/video/v32588761/texlaa-cron-on-his-major-league-debut/?game_pk=380990. Best part is the fist pump celebrating/taunting staying dry around 20 seconds. After becoming the first soaked reporter of 2014 she manages to stay mostly dry except in the division clinching celebration
