  If that's wht it takes to be "worthy" of the MVP (49 homers, 400+ total
  bases, .366 average, 110+ RBI) how did other teams' players qualify
  in years past?  The last player to put up numbers close to this was
  Hank Aaron...  By your reasoning, none of the intervening MVP's were
  worthy of the award...or do your qualifications apply ONLY to the Rockies
  because of the PERCEIVED advantage of the "Mile High" altitude?  (If the
  advantage were REAL, wouldn't the Rockies have a near-perfect home record?)
  I sincerely hope that some of the critics of High-Altitude Baseball come to
  Denver for the AllStar game in July...they'll find out that it's baseball
  as good as anywhere in the country.  
... ARRRRRGGGHHH!!!! ... Tension breaker, had to be done.
