Justin Morneau looks like a superhero about to attack in that picture.

All the other award results made sense, but now it's like we've entered another world. Either that, or Jayson Stark spoiled all of our ballots.

THIS OCTOBER YANKEES ARE TURBOCHARGED

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Monday, 9 October 2006 22:57 (nineteen years ago)

Why? Jeter was #1 in VORP or some such thing. I mean, I didn't vote for him, but I get the logic of doing so.

that was xpost, btw.

Why Ortiz and not Hafner? And no Santana? And Morneau even in the top ten, let alone the top five?

I had a fantasy team with four out of the top 5 (no Ortiz) and I DIDN'T EVEN FINISH IN THE DAMN MONEY.

I DIDN'T VOTE

OMG I'M PART OF THE PROBLEM

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 10 October 2006 00:56 (nineteen years ago)

Wow. This was not how I envisioned this one.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 10 October 2006 04:20 (nineteen years ago)

Pronk better be Hafner.

If you voted for Morneau, I don't wanna know.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 10 October 2006 12:09 (nineteen years ago)

lofton007: How did you get the nickname "Pronk"?

Travis Hafner: It was last Spring Training. Bill Selby kind of came up with it. Some called me "donkey," some called me "project" and it got shortened up to "Pronk."
