MLB: Stats Don't Lie

To put it frankly, I love stats. I spent four hours a day for about a week coming up with a new stat that worked and would kick !@*.

All my work finally came together at 8:54 one night. I call it MVPR (Most Valuable Player Rating). It uses all the factors that go into who should be the MVP.

Here's the formula: (1B+HR+RBI+SB)(AVG.)(W PCT)
