2013 Major League MVP

The final award to be announced is the Major League MVP, which essentially was a two-horse race between Denver's Mark Crawford and New York's Chad White.  These two all-time great outfielders have often been compared to one another, since they stand so far above the crowd.  During the regular season, Crawford hit .313 with 41 HR, and 115 RBI.  He also had 40 2B, 10 3B, 125 runs, 69 BB, .391 OBA, and .639 SLG.  Crawford led the league in SLG, RBI, Runs, and HR, and was 5th in batting average.  Formerly a CF, Crawford now plays RF for Denver, and is a solid defensive player.

Meanwhile, Chad White hit .316 with 33 HR, and 108 RBI.  Chad also had 46 2B, 1 3B, 106 runs, 52 BB, 16 SB, .382 OBA, .596 SLG.  Chad did not lead the league in any offensive statistics, but was in the top 3 in most of the important categories.  Chad also plays a gold glove caliber CF, and is widely considered the greatest defensive outfielder in league history.

With a very close vote, Chad White pulls off the upset and wins his 2nd career MVP award.  Complete results as follows:

1.    Chad White (3) 33 points
2.    Mark Crawford (2) 29 points
3.    Conn Barbarian (1) 22 points
4.    Kobe Jones 6 points
5.    Miguel Cruz 5 points
6.    Derek Tufnel 3 points
7T.  Zandar Dukakis 1 point
7T.  Stan Marsh 1 point
7T.  Casey Lebron 1 point
7T.  Keith Lee 1 point
