True Monthly MVP

True Monthly MVP
There was a short paragraph in today's Nikkan Sports about the Chiba Lotte Marines' oen-dan selecting and announcing their May MVP award.  The winners were pitchers Atsushi Yoshida and "Sunday Shingo" Ono.  The paragraph doesn't say what they won other than recognition before the game.


I think that this is a more valuable MVP award than the "official" one presented every month (although, the official one comes with cash).  Which, now that I think about it, didn't Ono win that one for May as well?

Nonetheless, what do you think?  How soon before other oen-dan start presenting their own awards as well.  Are Chiba fans being a trend setter?

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
