Synopsis
From its colorful and scandalous beginnings more than a century ago, baseball's annual Most Valuable Player Award has evolved into the most prestigious-and contentious-individual honor in the sport. No award means more to the players, the media, or the fans-and as any observer of the game can attest, no other award can claim a voting history so rich in snubs, grudges, conspiracies, and incompetence. Baseball's MVP Mysteries: Baffling Ballots and What They Tell Us looks at the past, present, and future of the MVP Award by diving into the most controversial ballots of all time. Which of the so-called ""worst MVPs"" can hold up to contemporary statistical analysis? Who cast the single worst vote in MVP history? Does racial bias influence the MVP vote? Who really deserved the award in a given year? Baseball's MVP Mysteries: Baffling Ballots and What They Tell Us will attempt to answer these questions, right some wrongs, unravel some threads, and look at some very familiar faces in unfamiliar ways. This book won't settle every argument about the most infuriating of major sports awards, but it will have fun in trying.
