But interleague play will make it worse.  No issue with your critique of
the MVP but they do get a deserving winner more often than not.  Plus
it's fodder for discussions about who really is valuable and how so.
This year for the AL I'd say it's a toss-up.  Any of Griffey, ARod,
Belle or Gonzalez would be fine choices.
