Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

Also, in the early days, you could only be awarded the MVP once in your career. Maybe some journalists were unhappy with the rule change and deliberately didn't vote for previous winners. Then again, Foxx won multiple AL MVP's before this.
Anti-Yankee bias?
Lefty Gomez split the pro-Yankee vote?

I'm ready to pick, but Dropbox is F'ing up my morning by not allowing me into my files. I've tried on my chromebook through the web, and my phone and iPad through the app and nothing.
EDIT:
According to downdetector.com, it seems I'm not the only one who's having issues with Dropbox.
If it's not back soon, I'm going to be on the road until around 3pm and would hate to hold this up.
