As it should be.
To illustrate again how horrible Dawson's .328 OBP is for an MVP:
Every other NL MVP in the last 50 years had a OBP
at least 14 points higher than .328, and most were significantly higher. Furthermore, the guys that finished in the ten spots behind Dawson in the MVP voting that year also all had OBP's at least 14 points higher than Dawson's....and again....most were much higher.
Now obviously OPB isn't the only thing that matters, but to me the MVP of the league should be able to get on base a lot when he comes up. Dawson did not.
