Atlanta Braves MVPs (as of 2017)

@DaleMurphy3 @Braves ‏@baseball_80s

I took this photo (in SunTrust Park, now known as Truist Park) just six years ago, but the Braves have won two more MVPs since then (Ronald Acuña Jr. this year and Freddie Freeman in 2020).

Dale Murphy was a league MVP twice. Given that he isn’t in the Hall of Fame, you’d think that the rest of his career was mediocre or something. In fact, he finished in the top 12 in MVP voting four other seasons. According to this site, not only does he have better stats than the worst of the members already in the Hall of Fame, he has better stats than the average Hall of Fame member.

This year’s inductees were Scott Rolen and Fred McGriff. Combined they won zero MVPs and finished in the top 12 in MVP voting five times–one less than Murph by himself.
