So Mike Greenwell wants an MVP.

The former BoSox outfielder and 1988 runner up to admitted steroid user and alleged (by ME, but still "alleged") classless moron Jose Canseco has asked that he receive the MVP over 16 years after the fact.

While Greenwell might ALMOST have a point, it's lost in baseball's absolute inability to track down several years of steroid use and give the awards to runners up. It's also lost in the point that steroids were not specifically banned by baseball, and thus did not at the time specifically constitute a rules violation. Greenwell's statements are, in my opinion, born out of the same publicity seeking mindset that prompted Canseco's likely exaggerations, and it's getting old.
