Did a relief pitcher deserve league MVP over an everyday player ?

Poster child of absolutely ridiculously voting. Pitchers should never get MVP and relief pitchers have no business ever being considered
Wisconsin 2-6 against the SEC since 2007
No, and Henderson shouldn't have won it either. Both Dwight Evans and Eddie Murray were better than Henderson.
no relief pitcher should ever win either MVP or CY Young. Ever.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
If you want another travesty of a vote, check out 1992. Eck STOLE both the MVP and CY young awards.
Clemens should have won Cy and there were 2 or 3 hands full of players who should have won MVP over Eck.
I do think there are occasions where pitchers are deserving of MVP awards. just never ever relievers.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Maybe there’s some alignment of stars where a closer could actually deserve consideration. I don’t know if even that would do it. Something like 50 multi inning saves or something ridiculous maybe.
Cant believe they voted for a relief pitcher.
Terry Bradshaw was AMAZING!!

I'm okay with Cy Young, the innings difference usually isnt that massive anymore. No pitcher should ever be in MVP talks though

1981 was a ridiculous season(s).
