Here's another one to add to the list. Justin Morneau from the Twins. Not many players acknowledge everyone behind the scenes.

Morneau feels holiday spirit Thursday 12/25, 8:40 PM CT

Justin Morneau sent every Twins' employee (front office personnel, scouts, media relations, etc.) a scarf for Christmas along with a note that read, "Your hard work off the field made it easier for us on the field," according to the Star Tribune.

Our View: One of the approx. 350 employees stated that was the first time a player had done that. He also took four needy families to Target and reportedly gave each a $2,500 shopping spree.
