Miguel Cabrera (Detroit Tigers) wins Triple Crown!!

[Kirkland Laing]

The MVP award pales into insignificance compared to the Triple Crown. In fifty years nobody is going to remember who the 2012 MVP was.

Very true. But in principle, it would be wrong and a slap in the face to Miguel Cabrera if Trout is voted MVP.
But again..... very true.

I don't think there is any ethnic bias. SI is notorious for making wild and controversial picks. Their pre-season predictions for every sport are always full of head scratchers. I'm pretty sure the lead MLB writer said "I want to pick Cabrera but that's what everyone expects so obviously it is Trout."
