Happy Father’s Day

June 17, 2007

[Johan Santana and his daughter Jasmily play wiffleball] Playing a friendly game of wiffleball with family members is a great way to spend Father’s Day, or any day. Here, Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Johan Santana plays wiffleball with his oldest of two daughters, Jasmily.

Notice, they’re using an official MLW ball, which Santana requested from our staff after posing for a photo for this site.

In 2006, MLW Commissioner Shaun Breen renamed the MLW “Cy Young Award” to the “Johan Santana Award” after he learned of the star pitcher’s interest in wiffleball. Santana has won two MLB American League Cy Young Awards (2004, 2006).

The original photo can be seen on page 45 of the Minnesota Twins 2006 official team yearbook.
