Terry Pendleton, Barry Larkin, Jimmy Rollins, Jeff Kent, Ken Caminiti, Chipper Jones, Dustin Pedroia, Ichiro

I can’t speak for all of them, but Chipper Jones is a pretty bad example.

Whatever. Kurt Gibson beat Darryl Strawberry in the 88 MVP race behind the same rationale. If I looked further, I could come up with other instances.

“It was DiMaggio’s great team and courageous work under extreme adverse conditions that caused the writers to lean toward him.” See, these damn fine Yankees have been toiling and overcoming inhumane conditions showing their character for a long time, not just this year.

Is this a fishing term? Because if so, bravo.

Ha. It actually is but it ain’t how I meant it. I’m good but not that good.

well, you’ve got nothing on the rationale given for DiMaggio winning

Williams lost because the Boston writers hated him.

One Boston writer left him off the ballot all together.

Nah. A jigger is the stainless steel hourglass shaped shot measuring tool that bartenders use to make cocktails.

Teddy Fucking Williams hopes he gets himself three jiggers for each of his titles.

In 1947, it again came up, as Ted Williams lost the MVP vote to Joe DiMaggio by one vote. If you are on one side or the other of the Mike Trout/Miguel Cabrera debate, well, you’ve got nothing on the rationale given for DiMaggio winning, whose average was significantly lower, who hit 12 fewer home runs, and drove in 17 fewer runs. “It was DiMaggio’s great team and courageous work under extreme adverse conditions that caused the writers to lean toward him.” See, these damn fine Yankees have been toiling and overcoming inhumane conditions showing their character for a long time, not just this year.

Come on now Lisk, you can be honest here. No need to beat around the bush.
