I feel like I stepped into Bizarro World reading this thread.

I have to say, however, that if a case could be made for using RBIs as the determinant stat for the MVP award that Charley made it when he said you don't come away from a game remembering VORP; you come away from a game remembering the HRs and RBIs. Should that be the way you select who you want on your team (past, present, or future)? Certainly not. But I wouldn't at all mind an award for it. I'd just rather it be called the Hero award or something. The only time I might want to take them into account when deciding on MVP would be in very close contests, but even then I'd want to look at other things like defense first.
