Justin Ernest George Morneau (born on May 15, 1981
in New Westminster, British Columbia) is a Major
League Baseball player. He is currently the
Minnesota Twins' everyday first baseman. Though he
dislikes the label, Morneau, along with teammate and
former roommate Joe Mauer, is sometimes referred to
as one of "The New M&M Boys." Growing popularity is
the nickname Paul Bunyan, given to him due to his
Canadian heritage. On November 21, 2006, he was
awarded the American League Most Valuable Player
award for the 2006 season by the Baseball Writers
Association of America. Today, he is considered one
of the top Canadian first basemen of all time. He
played for the North Delta Blue Jays of the BCPBL.
