Roy Oswalt received an early Christmas present. Drayton McLane made a promise before game 6 of the NLCS:
Oswalt came through with seven strong innings of one-run ball to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1, earning the NLCS Most Valuable Player trophy. McLane, who initially offered his old bulldozer, paid up Monday morning with a slightly-used D6N XL from Caterpillar.
According to Jason Watson from Houston's MUSTANG CAT dealership, the D6N XL runs about $230,000 brand-new. Although Watson wouldn't say what Oswalt's bulldozer cost McLane, slightly used D6N XLs can cost into the $200,000 range.
Most little boys I know want a bulldozer. Most settle for a Tonka. Oswalt gets to drive the real thing.

re: roy oswalt
he's not lee harvey oswald, he plays ball
for houston and he's real good
his name is roy oswalt for him the call
will be a strike, moving like it should
he's a master of the pitch zone
a maestro of several throws
fierce hitters come up, swing three and done
swearing the curveball broke down at their toes
Hip Hip for Roy Oswalt, King of the Mound,
Whenever he pitches, it's Hallowed Ground!
