Jeff Suppan, who is Catholic, was named National League MVP.

There is this story from last week about Jeff:

Pitcher tells students to know why they believe what they believe
ST. LOUIS (CNS) -- St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jeff Suppan wowed his fans one day in September, and he wasn't even on the mound. He received a standing ovation from more than 400 youths and adults following his talk on how he lives out his Catholic faith as a professional baseball player and in his daily life. Suppan spoke at St. Joseph's Academy in Frontenac. The event was sponsored by the Parent Network of Catholic High Schools. The Cardinals hurler -- whose team made it into the National League Championship Series to face the New York Mets Oct. 11 -- encouraged the middle school and high school students "to keep Jesus No. 1" in their lives. Said Suppan, "I try to put Jesus in front of everything I do." He lets Jesus "really lead me and not try to do it on my own." As Catholics, they will be regularly questioned about their faith, Suppan told the youths. Now, he said, is the time for them to gain a good foundation. (Source)
