I mean, he had a good year and i get the argument that a player on a last place team shouldn't win it, but the fact of matter is, there was no clear winner that year. that's why dawson won it. he was the best player in the league. jack clark was the runaway winner if he didn't get hurt.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Dawson led the league in homers and RBI, and in those days, that pretty much guaranteed you the MVP. The fact that his OBP was actually <i>below</i> league-average (hard to believe) perhaps means that he wasn't quite as "valuable" as we thought at the time.
Fuck it though, I loved the Hawk.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
