"I just won the Nobel Prize of baseball." -Elston Howard, American League MVP, 1963
Snubs. Grudges. Conspiracies. Incompetence.
All in a day's work for some of those who vote on Baseball's Most Valuable Player Award.
From its colorful and scandalous beginnings more than a century ago, the MVP has evolved into the most prestigious -- and contentious -- individual honor in the sport. No award means more to the players, the media, or the fans -- and no other award can claim a voting history so rich in controversy.
