Really? Oliva had 7 hits and Killebrew had 11 RBI. And Oliva getting on base does nothing if he doesn't either A. find a way to score by himself or B. get batted in by a teammmate.
I think an argument could be made if Killebrew has 7-8 RBI. But it looked like The Killer knocked home everyone he had a chance too every time he had a chance too. What more could he do? And yes, Oliva is possibly hindered by being earlier in the order but Killebrew is in a more "valuable" spot in the order. Oliva should have been a power hitter if he wanted to win MVP awards
