Midweek Rundown

• MVP, Shane White look to stay hot ahead of Boys match-up
• MVP & TikTok Partnership? Farewell to Village Beverage
• Ryan James to return?
• MDW BBQ at Rich’s

The 2023 unit was framed as what journalists across the nation called the “Most Anticipated MVP Team” of all-time. In their Week 1 match-up against the Bullworms, MVP delivered a double digit victory. Up 1 going into the 9th, MVP produced a 9-run nail-in-the-coffin inning offensively. However, it was Shane White who stole the show both on the field as well as on TikTok. In an MVP-caliber performance, Shane White was equal parts slugger and showman. When asked about how he played so calm and cool for the camera, the MVP star went on to say this:

“Confidence is my natural odor. Please don’t allow my confidence to offend your insecurities. I truly believe in me 100%.”

Bold words from a bold man. On top of a 2 homer day, Shane White also launched MVP’s bid to be TikTok’s ‘Next Big Thing’ with their in-game mic’d up sessions. Reviews are raving early on as there have been murmurs TikTok will replace the Village Beverage as the club sponsor following Jay White’s sale of the Village Beverage for an undisclosed amount.

Sources close to the White family claim Jay attempted to sell MVP’s rights to a slowpitch league in Vegas before DSSL Commissioner, Scott Schmidt, vetoed MVP’s move. A move that appears to be inspired by the Oakland Athletics’ jump from California. This has come as a surprise to some MVP players as they now have to pay for beer on Sunday’s during their week on cooler duty. What a concept.

In other surprising moves, Ryan James “thinks” he’ll play this week. Whatever at this point, so long as he brings Weslie, the GM doesn’t care.

Regardless as to whether the reigning champ shows up, one thing is guaranteed; Jon Rich has graciously offered to host a MDW BBQ post-game on Sunday. MVP members in attendance are expected to bring anything to the BBQ. *hint, hint*

MVP heads into Sunday’s semi-final rematch ready for another week of beers, bombs, and soundbites.
