I knew Hernandez played in St Louis but I never knew he played there longer than in NY.
As bad as gameplay can be, I love this game for teaching me new things about baseball history. I also didn’t know very much about Robin Roberts or George Foster, so I’ve already learned about a couple new players from baseball history this year. So that’s cool.
Fielding still sucks though.
Hernandez had the two best seasons of his career with the cardinals as well.
He won the co-MVP in St. Louis.
Which is just absurd. Stargell didn’t deserve a single first place vote. He shouldn’t have even been in the top 20 that year, and even that might be generous.
Winfield, Schmidt, and Hernandez were the only three deserving candidates.
It’s pretty cringeworthy to look back at old MVP voting results because of how unbelievably wrong most of them are.
It’s insane. I was recently looking at 1998, the year McGwire hit 70hrs. McGwire was better than Sosa in almost every category, still finished second to him in the MVP.
You're wrong. Sosa had more R, RBI, more hits, better average, throw in 18 steals, and he played in the OF not 1B... McGuire wacked 4 more HR.
Plus Sosa propelled the Cubs to the playoffs and McGuires Cardinals didn't.

You just said McGuire led Sosa in almost every category. You were wrong, that was not the case at all.

Apologies. I meant every important category.

So actual production R, RBI, AVG, etc and defensive ability, base running, aren't important to you? LMAO what a clown. Another guy that learns trendy new things like WAR but yet can't properly apply the metrics in discussion.
Keep reading kid. You might learn how to apply those things some day. Pick up the Baseball Forecaster it's a good jump on extra analytics and maybe give you perspective on the use and application of analytics.

Nice one! Please don’t refer to runs when discussing the value of a player, it makes you look foolish.

"Actual Production R, RBI, AVG"
The player has very little control over two of those, and the other tells a very incomplete picture -

"Actual Production R, RBI, AVG"
The player has very little control over two of those, and the other tells a very incomplete pictureYou do when you hit 50 points higher in high leverage situations (as Sosa did) and 30 points higher with RISP (as Sosa did) and have the base running ability to swipe 18 bags to put yourself in scoring position (as Sosa did) rather than being a stone footed sloth.
I also never claimed it gave a complete picture, just responded to the guy who incorrectly claimed McGwire led Sosa in every category, noting Sosa led in those categories, before he stated actual production was not important.
