Justin Morneau: All-Star Ball Star

Although British Columbia is known more for hockey than baseball, Canada's westernmost province has produced two great ball players-Larry Walker and Justin Morneau. Justin grew up idolizing Larry, and the two men now have a common bond. Larry was the first and only Canadian to win MVP honours in the National League, and Justin is the one and only Canadian to win MVP honours in the American League. Justin's rise to fame in baseball is the result of ambition, determination, and years of hard work. He didn't get to the pros by leaps and bounds-he got there one league at a time, one year at a time, one at-bat at a time. But today, he is one of the premier players in Major League Baseball and a hero in his own right to kids all over the world. This is the story of how he got there, and how he has managed to stay there.
