Aside from scoring more runs than anyone else 112 last I saw, he always takes the extra base when available, beats out double play attempts and generally surprises infielders beating their throws to first if they presume anything. Just beautiful to see!

I’ve detested in the past the idea that MVP be attributed to something other than object performance since arbitrary and/or subjective standards won’t be equally applied and can to often be mere emotion. I’d be a hypocrite if I started now. Unless Rizz goes on an offensive tear in Sept to be at least equal with KB, I couldn’t possible endorse an MVP vote for him. I like the idea of Rizz winning the Roberto Clemente award and KB the MVP, but really wish there was a “leadership” award actually voted on by the players and not the writers. Of course, then Rizz would have to compete with Ross.
