Sierra Romero wins Player of the Year!
Add (college softball Heisman) to the title so this gets the proper attention it deserves!
FINALLY she gets what is rightfully hers.
Should've won it the last two years. The only player in the history of the sport to record 300 RBI, 300 runs and 300 hits.
She won espnW national player of the year last year but this is truly the top award.
putting "softball" into the headline will not generate any extra asttention. Congrats t Sierra though
WD is saying that adding 'Heisman' will. But I agree with you. Player of the Year explains its amazingness.
I am confused as to why I got downvoted for this gif or why a picture of Romero hitting the ball was posted in reply. I had intended for this gif to be a celebration of Romero's success. I am sure she is a positive role model for girls everywhere.

Yeah, I was very nervous as well - esp. after a certain other award earlier this year & after the ESPNW award (kinda the softball Walter Camp Award) went to the Auburn player. Lots of great players, but none on Romero's level, especially if you take into account total career (which is of course debatable if they should). Romero has never finished outside of the top 10 for this award, and finished in the top 3 as a sophomore & junior. Finally it's her time. More than deserved.
ESPNW just created their award last year, Romero was the innaugural winner. ESPN certainly did enjoy talking about the fact that Romero was going up against Haeger (who won the top award) during the championship series. I don't think anyone is saying that they are trying to fix the WCWS, just that maybe they like having the ability to talk about themselves on air.
Truly a great player!

Congrats, Romo! Very well deserved.
Really hard to win this award if you're not a pitcher. And last year we saw Lauren Chamberlain close out her career without winning, so it's not just handed out based on cumulative achievements.
Go Sierra!!!!!!!
the second annual MGoBoard Chick Who Knocks the Fuck Out of the Ball Award, or CWKTFOOTBA, a very prestigious and time honored award in its own right.
Congrats Ms Romero!
Gotta love it! This award is going to have a wide-open competition next year. I would say Tera Blanco would be the early favorite, but if Christner can recover her form, she could threaten as well. This year, though, it was an easy call! :)
Justice is served.
Is at the top of the mountain!
Well-deserved, indeed.
GO BLUE!!!
I guess by underrated I mean that people will naturally think of all the football, hockey, basketball players, Barry Larkin, and Jim Abbott and not mention Romo. But I might be wrong.
She is def top 5 for me...maybe top 3 but that would be a interesting debate. Haha
Congrats Sierra!! Should have been 3rd straight year.
Nicely done, Sierra.
The last play of the Super Regional helped seal the deal
Hellava play!
I don't watch softball regularly but saw her offensive stats this year compared to the other non-pitcher finalist and it wasn't even close. Unless the other finalist played the double-your-stats-card of passing up the pros to g̶e̶t̶ ̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶f̶r̶e̶e̶ ̶a̶g̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶ further her eductation, this should have been unanimous.
It's not an olympic sport anymore.
Congrats to you.
Gotta think we set some kind of record in the sport for best tandem on a team with the same name?
