Josh Beckett is the latest face of a World Series Champion to grace the bright orange box that supplies my breakfast almost every morning. Which means that they actually put a World Series MVP on the cover of a Wheaties Box.
Too bad it’s about four years late.
You see, Josh Beckett isn’t the World Series MVP for the 2007 Champion Boston Red Sox.
He was the World Series MVP for the 2003 Champion Florida Marlins.
The past four seasons (2004-2007), General Mills has put a member of the World Series Champion on the cover of the Wheaties box.
And the past four seasons, it hasn’t been the World Series MVP.
