American Leaguers — Want to hold a wiffleball for our site? So far, two players that have went on to win the American League Most Valuable Player Award.

Back in 2006, Justin Morneau held and autographed a wiffleball for us at spring training, and finished the year by winning the AL MVP Award. Earlier today, Joe Mauer, who also held and autographed a wiffleball for us was named the 2009 AL MVP.

Mauer was a near-unanimous choice, earning 27-of-28 first place votes (Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera got the other), and is only the second catcher in 33 years to win the AL MVP Award.

Of course, we’re all rooting for the Twins here. After all, TC, the Minnesota Twins mascot, held a wiffleball in his mouth for us!
