Introducing the Game-winning Run (GWR)

After a very good debate on what should and should not constitute a gribby, something very smart and obvious made itself apparent. When telling the story of a game the RBI is only one part of the run-tally. There is no RBI without a run scored. In following that simple logic, the game-winning RBI really doesn't exist without its counterpart - the game-winning run.

Therefore, we are not only reviving the wonder of the GRBI statistic, but we are now introducing a brand-new statistic into the game - the GWR.

Currently, the website is showing who scored the GWR under the GRBI information. There is also a "Top Ten" leaderbaord for game-winning runs, but there is not yet any links for the players' GWR-scoring games.
