I think it's not a shock that it's a baseball team and AP. A single athlete having a great season isn't generally gonna be enough to rally 100-150K people in some passionate voting battle. Team sports can when you make it about the fan love for the whole team hence the Royals getting in there. They also achieved their big thing relatively recently. A whole year's worth of individual accomplishment as part of a team is gonna be tougher to draw attention to for this.
