• MVP debatesPhoto by Hulton Archive/Getty Images How’d that guy win? One of the beauties of today’s advanced baseball stats is it gives nerds like me a chance to go back in time and argue about how badly baseball writers mangled MVP and Cy Young votes in years past.

But if a hitter can’t get on base, t...2023Check it out Randy Johnson -
