Pujols Wins Second MVP

The Baseball Writers' Association of America gave Albert his Second MVP trophy today. (Link here).

While we're on the topic, who are the Baseball Writers' Association of America anyway? Are they like the Freemasons - handshakes, secret codes and loads of booty stolen throughout the centuries and buried at Ebbett's Field? And who vested them with the power to award the MVP? Why couldn't a bunch of guys from Monkeys Eyebrow, KY get together and bestow the honor on Ryan Howard?

But I digress. Setting aside the coven of crusty writer's who actually decide this award, this post is really just another excuse to raise the issue of Albert's true age. In support, I would like to invoke the most infallible argument of them all - "Just look at him." Can you tell me with a straight face that Albert is just 28?

No way. This guy came up in Santa Domingo where doctoring birth certificates is a national pastime. By itself, that fact creates a rebuttable presumption that Albert is really 35. Just remember this post when he breaks down in the next couple years.
