Inspired by today's Immaculate Grid:

The Mets are the only team in the National League to never have had an MVP winner. FFS.

(Also the Rays. But screw the Rays.)

The Brewers and Astros both have had MVPs before and after the League swap. (Yount and Bagwell, old school; Braun and Altuve, new alignment.)

61 damn seasons. I mean, FFS.

(Darryl completely deserved it in 1988. You'll never convince me that Gibson was anything other than racism and anti-NY bias. And perhaps tinkering with the vote totals after the WS, despite this being a regular-season award.)

1985 voting:

1. Willie McGee, 8.2 WaR
4. Dwight Eugene Gooden, 13.3 WaR

(Maybe the voters just don't like people named "Eugene"? It's Straw's middle name, too.)
