		Asked if Rice's nasty relationship with the writers had anything to do with his vote, Madden said, ''Not with me. I voted for Eddie Murray, and nobody was more rude to me than him.

		In what has to be the biggest surprise in all of the ballot for MLB post-season honors, Minnesota Twins’ 1st baseman Justin Morneau won AL MVP honors in balloting by a panel of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
		Phillies 2nd year lefthanded slugger 1st baseman Ryan Howard was awarded the NL MVP award in balloting by a panel of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

		If baseball's hit king is reinstated, members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America would vote on Rose's Cooperstown candidacy.
		Some voters — newspaper reporters or columnists with 10 consecutive seasons of covering baseball as a BBWAA member — take a cautious and in some cases cynical view of Rose's admission he bet on baseball after 14 years of denial.
		I'd like to vote him in based on his baseball accomplishments, but betting (on baseball) is serious stuff and a possible precedent.
