Ok, here's what I'll admit. I'll admit that I might have a slight bit of homerism when it comes to the Mariners, and especially in that season. I'll admit that my hatred of the A's (ever since the Bash Brothers, baby!) might also cloud my judgement.
I'll also admit that Giambi had a season that was far better than Boone's was statistically. I will still stick to my guns that Boone did a lot of little things that wouldn't even show up in the statistics, but I'd only expect the two Seattle voters who watched the Mariners on an everyday basis to know that. In which case the other 26 voters should have voted for Giambi, so therefore he should have won the 2001 AL MVP award.
I will, however, not waver on my belief that an MVP should NEVER come from a team that doesn't make the playoffs. And especially never from a last place team. Just my personal opinion.

Amazing the power of a pretty sig isn't it everyone?
Alright, give me a list of up to 3 women (it can be just one with multiple pics of her or only one pic.) PM me some pics of each to make it easier on me and I'll pick the best ones out
