I will say that I wouldn't have gotten the 2004 guy had it been, uh, drawn up for me. The 2009 guy used to be synonymous with his NL East team, which used to have a slightly different identity. 2012 was shared. Two guys. ONE OF THEM A MET.

Considering how US culture was all OJ all the time for a good two years, I'm shocked I'd never heard his connection to the case before. This happened during the 1999 NLCS. No wonder it flew under your and my radar. O.J. Simpson said Tuesday that a call he made to 911 to get help for a woman on cocaine turned into a big misunderstanding. Simpson called 911 Sunday night, saying he was trying to get help for a woman he said had been on a two-day cocaine binge with former major league baseball player Pedro Guerrero.

The guy from the '70s is in the Hall of Fame. The guy from the '80s got around in October. The guy from 1994 not only got around a lot in general, but was ALSO a future Met (so far off in the future at that time that I forgot about it until this moment). The guy from 1998 has a bit of that "not the team you identify him with" thing going; you may identify him with the team he was with in 1998, but I'm guessing your catlike reflexes will place him with another squad. The pitcher won it in consecutive years (and his name was very recently in the news).

1989 was the year of Kevin Mitchell that Mets fans agonize over, but part of the reason he was expendable was the team's depth at third. 1989: Howard Johnson, New York Mets Close, but no HoJo. That year's answer is -- I think it will be agreed when revealed -- one of the more surprising. A very good player but not generally identified with the team he was with at the time.

FYI: All the NL MVPs have been named. Everybody else did not win the league award, but topped all NL East players in his given year(s). And as mentioned, we have two Hall of Famers; a pitcher; and a New York Met who shared his honor. ALSO we have a future Met when he won and a former Met when he won (two different guys).

Nobody's taking the layup. 2017: Giancarlo Stanton, Miami Marlins He was literally yesterday's news. And now he's today's two-for-one (2014). 1969: Tom Seaver 1970: 1971: Joe Torre (NL MVP) 1972: 1973: Willie Stargell 1974: 1975: Greg Luzinski 1976: Mike Schmidt 1977: Greg Luzinski 1978: Dave Parker (NL MVP) 1979: Willie Stargell and Keith Hernandez (Co-NL MVPs) 1980: Mike Schmidt (NL MVP) 1981: Mike Schmidt (NL MVP) 1982: 1983: Andre Dawson 1984: Ryne Sandberg (NL MVP) 1985: Willie McGee (NL MVP) 1986: Mike Schmidt (NL MVP) 1987: Andre Dawson (NL MVP) 1988: Darryl Strawberry 1989: 1990: Barry Bonds (NL MVP) 1991: Barry Bonds 1992: Barry Bonds (NL MVP) 1993: 1994: 1995: Greg Maddux 1996: Larry Jones 1997: Larry Jones 1998: 1999: Larry Jones (NL MVP) 2000: Mike Piazza 2001: Larry Jones 2002: 2003: 2004: 2005: 2006: Ryan Howard (NL MVP) 2007: Jimmy Rollins (NL MVP) 2008: Ryan Howard 2009: 2010: 2011: 2012: 2013: 2014: Giancarlo Stanton 2015: Bryce Harper (NL MVP) 2016: Daniel Murphy 2017: Giancarlo Stanton (NL MVP)

So we still have those two Hall of Famers, along with another pitcher and, oh by the way, an actual New York Met...who shared his year's NL East MVP honors with another player (on another NL East team).
