Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Prediction: Cabrera wins MVP with 2/3 of first-place votes. Voter history suggests playing for a playoff team is biggest factor.

Willie Mays had six 10+ WAR seasons and won the MVP Award ... twice. #oldMVPfacts.

Old MVP facts: Carl Yastrzemski was not a unanimous MVP in 1967, his Triple Crown year. Cesar Tovar (2.1 WAR) got one 1st-place vote.

Old MVP facts: George Brett got only 17 of 28 first-place votes when he hit .390/.454/.664 in 1980.
 
Closest MVP vote was in 1947, Joe DiMaggio with 202 points, Ted Williams 201 points.

Curious to see where the asshole los angeles voters put Cabrera....3rd/4th/5th to screw him on points.
 
November 16 in Tigers and mlb history:

1912 - Detroit Tigers infielder Red Corriden is sold to the Cincinnati Reds.

1950 - Major League Presidents Ford Frick (American League) and Will Harridge (National League) vote to deposit $950,000 received for World Series TV and radio rights into the player's pension fund.

2005: Broadcaster Ralph Edwards, dies today in Los Angeles, CA at age 92; he was considered the voice that launched the Jimmy Fund, the children's cancer-fighting charity long favored by the Boston Red Sox.

2011: The Manager of the Year Awards go to Kirk Gibson of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League and the Tampa Bay Rays' Joe Maddon in the American League. Gibson wins in his first full season as a skipper, while it's a second time for Maddon to receive the award.
