“Morneau sent collectors in at least two countries — the United States and his native Canada — scurrying to pick up cards and souvenirs with a breakout 2006 season. The affable first baseman edged Derek Jeter to win the American League MVP Award, joining Larry Walker (1997) as the only Canadian-born MVPs in Major League history. Justin is also just the fourth Twins player to earn MVP accolades.”
Will Morneau be able to gather enough votes to beat out Mark Teixeira or Kevin Youkilis for an All-Star Game spot? His numbers seem right (.320 AVG with 16 HR’s). That’s actually more homers and a higher average than Kevin Youkilis, but this is a popularity contest we’re talking about. The race is on.
