But it does.

McGwire hit 70 Home Runs in 1998, setting the record at the time, and Sosa won the MVP because the Cubs made the playoffs, where St Louis didn't.

Hell, look at last season, when everyone thought Matt Kemp would win it, yet Braun did (the Brewers made the playoffs, the Dodgers didn't).

I know it does. But it should not. Being on a non-playoff team should not discredit individual play. He's still the best no matter how many games the team wins.

I know, man. It's all these baseball writers, most of who never even played Little League Baseball, yet make up their own rules and criteria as to who should be voted MVP, who should be voted into the HOF, etc.
