Alright, let’s jaw about this “mlb mvr” thing, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, like somethin’ them city folks talk about. But I reckon it’s about baseball, that game with the bats and balls and all that runnin’ around.
Best Baseball Fellers, I Guess
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you. I just watch the games on that there telly sometimes when the chores are done. But even I can tell ya, some fellers are just better at hittin’ that ball and catchin’ it than others. They call ’em “mvrs” or somethin’, must be important if they got a special name.
- Hit the Ball Far: Seems like these fellers can knock that ball a country mile. Heard tell of one fella, Pete Rose or somethin’, who hit that ball more times than anyone. Now that’s somethin’ ain’t it? Another fella, Ty Cobb, he weren’t too shabby neither. All them hits, musta wore out a whole heap of bats.
- Run Like the Wind: And the runnin’! These mvrs, they run faster than a chicken with its head cut off. Stealin’ bases and all that. One young fella, they say he’s got the speed and the hittin’, and he’s good at catchin’ too. Sounds like a good all-rounder to me. Twenty-somethin’ homers he hit, and stole a whole bunch of bases too. That’s a lot of runnin’ and hittin’, I tell ya.
- Catch Like a Sticky Mitt: And the catchin’, oh my! Some of them catches, they look downright impossible. But these mvrs, they snag that ball outta the air like it’s stuck to their glove with honey. They say this one young fella, not only he hits good and runs fast, but he catches real good too. That’s what they call “defensive value” I hear, fancy words for catchin’ good.
How They Pick These MVRs
Now, how they pick these best fellers, that’s a whole ‘nother story. Seems like they got these folks, “voters” they call ’em, and they watch all the games and decide who’s the best. They got awards and ceremonies and all sorts of fuss. They even got a schedule for when they announce these winners. Day by day, they pick different awards, best pitcher, best hitter, and then this big one, the mvr.
I reckon it’s like pickin’ the best watermelon in the patch. You gotta look at the size, the color, give it a thump to see if it’s ripe. These voters, they look at the hits, the runs, the catches, all that stuff. And then they pick the best one, the ripest watermelon of the bunch.
Why All the Fuss?
Now, some folks might say, “Why all the fuss about these baseball fellers?” Well, I reckon it’s ’cause they give us somethin’ to cheer for. Somethin’ to talk about around the water cooler, or in my case, around the well. It’s excitin’ to watch ’em play, to see ’em hit that ball and run like the wind. It’s a good distraction from all the troubles of the world, you know? Worries about the crops, the weather, the price of eggs… for a little while, you can just forget all that and watch these fellers play ball.
And maybe, just maybe, it’s about more than just the game. Maybe it’s about hard work, dedication, and bein’ the best you can be. These mvrs, they put in the hours, they practice, they sweat, and they strive to be the best. And that’s somethin’ we can all admire, whether we’re talkin’ about baseball or just plain old life.
So, Who’s the Best?
So, who’s the best mlb mvr this year? Well, I ain’t got a clue. Like I said, I just watch the games sometimes. But I reckon whoever it is, they earned it. They hit the ball far, they run like the wind, and they catch like a sticky mitt. And they give us somethin’ to cheer for, somethin’ to talk about, and maybe even somethin’ to inspire us. And that’s good enough for me.
MVR’s are important for baseball, they make the game more excitin’ and they are the best players.
