Alright, let’s talk about this “al mvp” thing, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, but I’ll tell ya like it is, plain and simple.
So, this fella, Aaron Judge, from them Yankees. Heard he’s a big hitter, real strong. Folks say he whacks them balls a country mile. Guess that makes him good, huh? They give him some kinda prize, this “MVP” thing. Must be important if they’re makin’ such a fuss.
Then there’s this other fella, Shohei Ohtani. Now, this one’s a bit different, they say. He ain’t just hittin’ balls, he’s throwin’ ’em too! Like, pitchin’, you know? Like in them old-timey baseball games I used to listen to on the radio. He played for the Angels, wherever that is. Heard he hits them balls far too, and throws ’em real fast. Folks are sayin’ he’s the best there is, this year anyways. They gave him the same “MVP” prize as that Judge fella.
- They gave it to him unanimous, they say. That means everyone agreed. Guess he must be somethin’ special.
- But then I heard this Ohtani fella got hurt. Tore somethin’ in his elbow, they call it a “UCL”. Sounds painful, like when my old mule kicked me in the knee. Had to sit out most of September, poor fella.
Makes ya wonder, don’t it? How can you be the best if you’re sittin’ on the bench? But I guess he done enough before that to impress folks. Hit a whole bunch of them home runs, they say. Led the whole league, whatever that means. More than that Judge fella, I reckon.
Now, they talkin’ about where Ohtani’s gonna play next. Says he’s a “free agent”. Means he can go wherever he wants, I guess. Like when my prize-winning rooster got loose and went to the neighbor’s farm. He was a free agent too, I suppose. Bet them big city teams are linin’ up to get him, even with that busted elbow. He’s that good, they say.
This Judge fella, he plays for the Yankees, in New York City. That’s a big place, lots of folks. They say he had a good year too, hitting all them home runs. But I heard he didn’t do so good in the playoffs. That’s when they play for the championship, you know, like the county fair, but for baseball. Guess he wasn’t so “valuable” then, huh?
So, who’s really the “MVP”? That Ohtani fella who got hurt but was so good they gave him the prize anyways? Or that Judge fella who hits them balls far but couldn’t win the big games? I tell ya, it’s confusin’. Seems like they got different ways of bein’ valuable.
It’s like when you’re pickin’ corn. Some folks are fast, they can fill a whole basket in no time. But some folks are careful, they make sure every ear is perfect. Who’s the better picker? Depends on what you need, I reckon. Maybe that’s how it is with this “MVP” thing too.
Anyways, that’s what I hear tell about this “al mvp” business. Sounds like them fellas, Judge and Ohtani, are somethin’ special. Hope they get their elbows fixed and keep hittin’ them balls, or throwin’ ’em, or whatever it is they do to make folks cheer. It’s just a game, after all, like when we used to play catch with them old worn-out baseballs back in the day. But it sure does get folks riled up, don’t it?
And that’s all I gotta say about that. Don’t know much about these fancy city games, but I know what’s what when it comes to good folks and hard work. And seems like these fellas put in the work, one way or another. So good for them, I say. Good for them.
