One of the beauties of today’s advanced baseball stats is it gives nerds like me a chance to go back in time and argue about how badly baseball writers mangled MVP and Cy Young votes in years past. I’ve always been in favor of making ballots public, if for no other reason than to shame homerism for undeserving candidates. Whether that’s ever been a thing or not, who knows. There is a perception that East Coast writers have long favored New York players, and to a lesser extent, players from Boston. Understand, I’m not dissecting last year’s MVP vote.
