I have narrowed the worst MVP snubs ever down to 3: 2 times the same man was snubbed (Ted Williams.)

1942: Williams - .356 avg. / 36 HR / 137 RBI (Wins the Triple Crown.)
***Gets beat out by Yankee Joe Gordon - .322 / 18 / 103. The Yankees finish 9 games ahead of the Red Sox, and go on to lose the World Series 4-1 to the St. Louis Cardinals.

1947: Williams - .343 / 32 / 114 (Again winning the Triple Crown.)
***Gets beat out by Yankee Joe DiMaggio - .315 / 20 / 97. The Yankees finish 14 games ahead of the Red Sox and go on to beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 4-3 in the World Series.

1934: Lou Gehrig - .363 / 49 / 165 (Wins the Triple Crown and finishes 5th, yes FIFTH, in the MVP voting.)
***Mickey Cochrane wins the award with these numbers - ..320 / 2 / 76. The Tigers beat out the Yankees by 4 games to win the A.L. pennant with Cochrane as their player-coach. They go on to beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 4-3 in the World Series.

Which of these (or others) would you consider the worst?

For safety purposes, my house does not have any guns in case an intruder comes. But I do have an aluminum baseball bat. Will a baseball bat serve as a good weapon that can potentially stop an intruder? thankss

ok so after my cousin graduated from high school he got a job at a ski resort in winter park colorado and moved out there and had a blast. I'm thinking about doing that but I want to find a job at a ski resort in pennsylvania or new york area. I've never been skiing or snowboarding but I would like to learn how to and I think it would help if I worked at a ski resort. could you guys please help me. I've been looking online on google but I havent had any luck. what I need is one that would hire someone who is 18, offers housing, how to apply, and lists benefits (if any). could you guys please help me find some websites with this info.


also if you are recommending a resort you have worked at could you please tell me what you did and what you liked and didnt like about the resort.

if AROD fires his agent he wont have to pay him 15 mil a year for that 30 mil a year contract. That means teams only have to pay 15 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR to sign agent-less AROD. Wouldnt you do that??? You save your team , fans and god forbid AROD i.e. yourself some money!!

DO IT AROD!

Stewart is currently 5th in points. He's gonna have to pull this cup of his ars if he actually wants it. Is there anything he could do to actually win this year?! I know there's always a slim possibility that he could win, but.... what would it take?

why does everyone talking about trading arod keep talking about third base. He is a shortstop. People keep saying that the red sox don't want to get rid of lowell. They don't have to . Just get rid of Julio Lugo and put arod at short. Arod is a shortstop. right?

Head to head:
Anderson v. Hasselbeck. Matt has all of his WRs back, btw

I need a third WR out of Donald Driver, Dwayne Bowe, and DJ Hackett. Please rank them in order of opinion!

Why is it that A-Rod is such a dominant player yet is taking so much crap on every sports show there is about having a losing attitude, being a "cancer", and how you cant win a championship with ARod? I hear some say, "look what happened in Texas, 3 years of great numbers, three years in last place" Was it ARods fault they were in last? Is it ARods fault that the yankees didnt win the world series? The yankees wouldnt have made the playoffs without him. I would LOVE to have ARod on my team (wont happen being a Reds fan... but anyways). How can a guy with his type of numbers keep a team from winning? i do not see the "bad attitude" that people talk about!
