What a great day to be named Wada.

Kazuhiro Wada of the Central League champion Chunichi Dragons and Tsuyoshi Wada of the Pacific League pennant-winning Fukuoka Softbank Hawks capped impressive performances this year by being named the MVP of their respective leagues on Thursday when the NPB announced its 2010 award winners at Akasaka Sacas.

"This is the biggest thing that has happened in my career," said Kazuhiro Wada, a veteran of 14 NPB seasons.
