Bears quarterback Rex Grossman, winner of the 2003 Eckstein Award, is out for the season after suffering a leg injury in Sunday’s loss to the Vikings. Now that Grossman is out of the race, the top contenders for this year’s award are quarterback David Greene of 3-0 Georgia, and David Eckstein himself, who hit a home run yesterday to put the Angels within one game of Oakland, and was rewarded by being called “diminutive shortstop David Eckstein” in an MLB.com story.
Greene is the favorite, so long as he doesn’t get injured in a shower-room brawl with Matt Damon.
