Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. So just sit back and take in the splendor that is Justin Morneau and ex-Twins catcher Rob Bowen about to hit the town on New Year's Eve. Where did they ever get the inspiration for those tuxedos? Dumb and Dumber, of course! And they even admit as much on Morneau's official site.

If Morneau is attempting to become more eccentric and fun, it is certainly working. The tuxedo is at least retroactive proof that, once and for all, he deserved the 2006 AL MVP over Derek Jeter.
