Also Receiving Votes

[RandBalls Stu]

Jorge Polanco was the runaway winner of the MVP vote for the 2021 Minnesota Twins. But the rest of the ballot was a challenge for the local Baseball Writers Association of America, given the team’s struggles this season. Although the ballots are private, sources have provided Twins Daily with an exclusive look at the Others Receiving Votes category. We share them with you now.

• 1977 Rod Carew
• A sturdy and stylish neck fan for hot press box nights.
• “Porge Jolanco”
• A screenshot of the happy hour menu at The Loon
• Justin Fields
• The cool dark of the grave
• A pre-owned 1990 Toyota Celica that’s paid off and can still get you around town.
• Nicorette
• Staring into space as Andrelton Simmons takes another horrifying at-bat, pondering your place in the universe, realizing you’re just a speck, a mote in the vast tapestry of existence and realizing that none of it matters and that’s OK.
• Secretly delighting when fans start the wave and spill beer and nacho cheese on themselves.
• Kirill Kaprizov
• Billy Zane, the actor
• Some town ball guy from the Hadley Buttermakers who used to work at the feed store and hit a home run that landed in Slayton. Think his name was Brian, might have been Wade though.
• Pictures of dogs and sunsets on Instagram but not at the same time, that’s trying too hard.
• Bone-deep sighs.
• Gleeman’s HBO Max password.
• LaMonte Wade Jr. LOLOLOLOL

• Boneless wings
• Bone-in wings, what are you a baby
• Blue Bloods, every Friday night at 9 on CBS.
• Coffee that’s been sitting in the pot for three hours. Bitter, sludgy, the good stuff, let’s you know you’re alive.
• The artistry of Billy Joel.
• Going to Target on a Saturday night when no one else is shopping and you have the store to yourself and you see yourself on the security cam at the self-checkout and you look like you lost a little weight in your face.

Oooh, I didn't know this was an option. Can I change my vote?

LaMonte Wade Jr. LOLOLOLOL

Elite levels of rueful laughter.

After about May 10th, no person could possibly have been horrified by an Andrelton Simmons AB. That would require at least a smidgen of "give a ****."

ABSOLUTELY NOT!  

Every single camera at the checkout makes me look like my DL picture from every year since I turned 30! Makes me look like a mug shot from being picked up for a DUI...which has never happened....or my company credential pic for driving an annoying ice cream van blaring annoying Caribean music throughout local neighborhoods enticing kids to fork over their allowance for sugar treats...which has also never happened.
