patron, How do you award an MVP when both sides walked away without a winner? And can you imagine Ted Williams wanting to go home in a tie game? Baseball is going to get everything it deserves, I'm afraid. jpgill

<<apparently it wasn't awarded to anyone! A focused, organized guy like Williams would be rolling over in his grave if he were alive to see that! >> again, the simple metaphor is that none of these over-paid, steriod-pumping, clueless "oh my god I can't pitch three innings" arse-holes is DESERVING of an award named after Ted Williams. i repeat, it ain't no ACCIDENT that in the first year of the Ted Williams award that NOBODY won it. As a New Englander with a deep puritanical streak, I can see what is happening here even if Charlie Pierce and the other arm-chair liberals are blind. ("Can you see...") Williams is already rolling over in his grave watching Barry Bonds step up to the plate with 25 lbs of body armor on his right elbow, watching him kid with Torii Hunter for stealing a home run from him, watching Roy Halliday (what the f^*& is that guy doing in an All-Star game) serving up a thigh-high meatball on three-and-oh, and watching Bonds SWING at a three-and-oh pitch. They should frankly re-name the award the Mark "the bird" Fidrych award, after a one-second-of-glory mediocre pitcher who had no redeeming baseball skills but would have made a great guest on Jerry Springer. Then you'd have any number of people to give the award to. Cheers
