Snow and MVP talk

It finally snowed today!! It was only flurries, but it's still something. I haven't seen snow in this state for almost two years, so it's exciting for me. It's not even Thanksgiving yet, so maybe we might expect some more later this year!


In other news, Dustin Pedroia of the Boston Red Sox was awarded the MLB AL MVP today. I am really excited. He got 16 of the 28 first place votes. So far he's won the Gold Glove award, the Silver Slugger award, a World Series Ring, the Rookie of the Year award , and now the AL MVP in the last two years. He's only 25 years old, and is already a great ball player.
