Big Daddy Vladdy

In 2004, Vladimir Guerrero's stellar stat line, including 39 homers, 126 RBI and a career high 124 runs scored, together with the "bonus" of 15 stolen bases, demonstrated to voters that he was, indeed, the American League's Most Valuable Player. His 206 season hits tied a career high that he set just two years prior. None of his other stats were his best. Yet combined, they were better than every other player in the American League in 2004.
