Barack Obama Wins NL Most Valuable Player Award

October 9, 2009

NEW YORK — In a stunning surprise, Barack Obama has won the National League MVP Award. Major League Baseball announced Friday that it had awarded its highest honor to President Obama “for his extraordinary efforts to follow the sport and strengthen hope and cooperation between peoples.”

“He has created a new climate,” MLB said in its announcement. Because he is not technically a professional baseball player, President Obama’s name had not figured in speculation about the likely winner until minutes before the prize was announced here.
Likely candidates had been seen here as including sluggers Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard, as well as shortstop Hanley Ramirez who captured the NL batting title with a .342 batting average.
