Gyorko named Big East Rookie of the Year

I know a certain poster who is beaming with pride right now! 

Congrats to young Gyorko on this accomplishment.

Goose, send some congrats to your little bro from the members of the board.

The Gyrko's have been a great addition to the Morgantown Sports scene for a long time, it is good to see them continue their Morgantown legacy at WVU.

That kid had some amazing numbers. I hope that the Baseball team can break through in the BE while he is around.

The kid hit over .400 and had like 12 HR and 57 RBI's

Dont hold me to the stats but it is close.....

Congrats Jedd!!

Goose, I know you are proud of your little brother, but this has to find you puffing your feathers a little more.
