	Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award - BaseballWiki - a Wikia wiki
		The Chalmers Award was the first attempt to recognize a player for overall contributions to his team's success—hence the designation Most Valuable rather than "player of the year", a distinction which remains today.
		In the 1920s the leagues awarded MVP titles, but limited the ballot options to one player per team, which led to there being no National League MVP in 1922 or 1923.
		After that, the belief arose that the Most Valuable Player ought to be a position player, since pitchers had their own award.

	Baseball
		Baseball is a team sport in which a player on one team (the pitcher) attempts to throw a hard, fist-sized ball past a player on the other team (the batter), who attempts to hit the baseball with a tapered, smooth, cylindrical stick called a bat.
		After the fielding team has put out three players from the opposing team, that half of the inning is over and the team in the field and the team at bat switch places; there is no upper limit to the number that may bat in rotation before three outs are recorded.
		The most common occurrence of contact of this nature is at home plate between the runner and the catcher, as the catcher is well padded and locked into position on or near the plate, and the runner will often try to knock the ball out of the catchers hand.

	Confusion Reigns as A-Rod Named AL's Most 'Valuable' :: SportsGoons.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		One of the most common arguments in the age-old debate over what the term “valuable” implies is that the award should go to the player who’s team would have performed the worst without that player.
		A-Rod was only the second player in the history of the 70-year award to be given the MVP while playing for “an absolutely piss-poor, doormat of a team,” according to MLB representatives.
		Important is defined as “strongly affecting the course of events or the nature of things,” which ties in with the widespread belief that the award should be given to the player who contributed the most to a good team.

		First of all, the idea that a player should be downgraded because he "has had a pedestrian season by his normal standards" or "a sub par season by his normal standards" is ridiculous.
		When it comes to baseball's yearly awards, I believe there should be no extra "credit" given to a player for having good teammates or for pitching on a team with a great offense or for having guys with good on-base percentages batting in front of them.
		In most cases, if you take the two best players in the league and one of them has such a big edge in playing time, he's going to have been the more valuable player.

		He modeled the at-bat outcomes of players using the importance of the game situation to find out if clutch or choke abilities helped to explain their performance.
		He determined the situational importance of a player's at-bat based on a team's lead, which bases were occupied, how many outs there were in the game and which half-inning it was.
		He used six sets of assumptions that involved sacrifice flys and errors in different ways, allowing for only a 1 percent chance of a player showing up as a clutch or choke hitter if he was not.
