In 2014 Justin Morneau had an incredible season. One which was likely worthy of Comeback Player of the Year honors. He hit .319 with 17 home runs and 82 RBI’s while winning an National League batting title. He was a huge bright spot on a dismal Rockies season marred, yet again, by injuries. More impressive is that he did this after suffering through 4 years of sub par performances that didn’t at all look like he one time MVP and 4-time All-Star of years past. In July of 2010, Morneau suffered a concussion while sliding into 2nd base and coming into contact with the knee of second basemen John McDonald.
