Roger Clemens was
MVP in 1986 for the first-place Red Sox with a 24-4 record and 2.48 ERA.

MVP?
'This
MVP trophy is like being named to the national team because not only does it bring pressure but the expectation for you to perform well is also there,' said Maizo-Pontillas, who had 14 points in the title-clinching game.
The last defensive player to win the
MVP was New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor in 1986, who terrorized the NFL with a league-leading with 20.5 sacks.
The official press releases in the past from BBWAA regarding their
MVP selections don't specify how they choose, but they do mention specific accomplishments, and while voting members have been quoted as saying they don't choose an
MVP by imagining how crippled a team would be without the
MVP, it is clear that the players' importance to a team factors somehow.
Fajardo, who was expectedly part of the PBA Mythical Team, is the first player to win the
MVP award for three straight years and he is one less trophy behind Alvin Patrimonio and Mon Fernandez for most.
Season 79
MVP Mary Joy Baron is a shade under six feet at 5-foot-11 while Season 80 winner Jaja Santiago is at a towering 6-foot-5.
"He is really deserving of a fifth straight
MVP award," glowed Fajardo's former SMB teammate Danny Ildefonso, who bagged back-to-back
MVP awards from 2000-01.
Those circumstances are also why James (http://www.ibtimes.com/lebron-james-explains-why-he-should-be-nba-mvp-over-james-harden-2667153) believes he should be awarded
MVP due to his "body of work" as well as the fact that his performances are coming with him being 33 years of age.
