How the fuck did the Mets not have an MVP?

They've only made the playoffs like 9 times in 60 years. So a lot of bad teams. Hard to be mvp on bad teams.

For comparison, Twins have been to 14.

How the fuck did the Mets not have an MVP?

Seaver, Hernandez, and Strawberry all finished second.

We have always been a pitching heavy franchise. 7 Cy Youngs.

Like Cleveland was the Cleveland Naps because of Nap Lajoie, it might be time to start calling them the LA Ohtanis.

Would you groove a pitch to Albert Pujols?

Keep in mind Denny McLain did to Mickey Mantle (even told him what was coming) back in 1968.

Al Downing to Hank Aaron.

Also Chan Ho Park to Fuck Face's Brother, a fitting tribute for the dumbest record holder in sports.

I don't think Downing grooved it or telegraphed what was coming.

Heck, McLain waved at The Mick, told him what was coming and asked where did he want it.

Who's FF?

Downing admitted it; said he enshrined his name in Cooperstown.
