Paul Konerko: MVP-worthy season?

Paul Konerko, member of the Chicago White Sox, has recently been recognized for his positive attitude both on the field and off. His teammates and coaches respect him as one of the most inspirational players of the game today, and for these very reasons he is being considered to be an MVP of the 2010 season of Major League Baseball.

As his batting coach Greg Walker described Konerko, "He has been the most unselfish player I've ever been around. Maybe the game paid him back for doing it the right way. But if the MVP voters had been here to see what our staff and manager has seen him do, he'd win it hands down." This present season, Konerko has both offensively and defensively been performing extremely well, with a .318 batting average and ranking second in the American League with 37 homeruns and 105 RBIs.

Although there are several other acknowledgeable players being considered for the MVP title, Paul Konerko deserves the award, in my opinion, for his hardwork and dedication to the sport of baseball.
