That's positive to hear.

I’ve been petrified with fear that he would be done for good.

Is it just me or is December not that long ago?

I mean, I’ll take the good news wherever it comes, but…

22 symptom-free days is great news

It sounds like his wrist is the bigger issue at this point. But he also has scar tissue from two other surgeries (knee and neck).

Odd note at the end about him cutting out sugars, gluten and dairy

I guess sometimes its not obvious figuring that out for yourself, but still…

Prediction:

Justin Morneau will be a vegan by the end of his career. He’ll get so used to the taste of soy- and rice-based dairy replacements that he’ll ultimately give up meat, poultry, and fish. Or, if he’s already eating a lot of fruits and veggies and drinking soy milk while downing Tofutti “ice cream” sandwiches, he’ll just gradually phase out meat products over time.

Someone get him in contact with Pat Neshek and Prince Fielder!

Prince says he eats nothing but vegetables

nothing but delicious deep fried vegetables stuffed with cheese

That's gonna be rough

I assume Mauer’s house is made almost entirely out of Land O’ Lakes products, so this could strain the friendship.

But if going vegan means a longer career

So be it.

So far, its mainly wheat and dairy that Morneau has given up

I know this started as a fun tangent, but the article mentioned that his diet was mainly meat, rice, veggies and fruit now. Reminds me of a lot of asian food (Chinese, Japanese, Thai, etc).

by DavidRF on Jan 23, 2012 4:31 PM EST up reply actions  

I wonder if he's going to give up advertising $1-any-size soft drinks at McD's.

Good point...

He said he was giving up sugar… so it would have to be Diet Coke

I wonder if that means no more maple syrup

Good news.

Hope it stays that way!

I'm still a Minnesotan at heart...
