An interesting fact about OTM is that it's been around for since 2005. (Proof!) During that time a healthy community has emerged, following the Red Sox team and the efforts of OTM's writing staff. Starting in 2009, awards were established in order to honor individuals who brought a lot to the webzone. This is my effort to recognize the history of these awards. Hope you enjoy.

Hope you all found this interesting. I'd offer some kind of analysis but that's probably best left to you folks in the comments below. Special thanks to the hosts over the years, namely Sean O, who's really kept these awards alive in recent times. If there's anything that appears to be missing don't hesitate to bring it up, it'd be great to see this as complete as possible.
