Well said.

I'm with all the stat nerds who vote for Trout as MVP, but I'm glad I got to follow Cabrera's chase at a Triple Crown. Despite its reliance on archaic #s, those are traditional #s I studied on my '87 Topps cards, and I'll no longer think "Yaz" when thinking of the Triple Crown.

Here's to hoping more refined and valuable #s find their way onto the next generation of Topps cards

For many people including myself, there has never been a triple crown in their lifetime, and probably never will again with the over specialization in pitching. Cabrera is MVP, and the fact that the Tigers made the post season and the Angels did not will not make the vote Not as close as most people think.

Didn't Dimaggio win the MVP the same year Williams won a Triple Crown?

BBWAA members assigned to the National League Most Valuable Player committee are told, “There is no clear-cut definition of what Most Valuable means. It is up to the individual voter to decide who was the Most Valuable Player in each league to his team. The MVP need not come from a division winner or other playoff qualifier.

The Angels were 6-14 before calling up Trout
