Willie has the most MVPs -- one full one to Keith's half. But he's not even the best closer on the list, so I went with Orlando ... I'll take t a clutch SP over a 1B any time.

Keith Hernandez was not one of my favourite players, but let's face it, if he had managed to put in another 3 decent years, he would have been an easy Hall of Famer.  At his peak, he hit .330 with excellent plate discipline, medium range power and a great glove at first base.  That is a package of talents that is hard to beat.  I had forgotten how good he was in 1979-80, presumably B.C. (before cocaine).

Gold Glover MVP, World Series champ, All star, silver slugger - none of it matters. What truly matters is that to give this award to anyone but the one listed player who guest starred on Seinfeld would be a crime against humanity. Keith Hernandez set the bar for professional athlete two-shot guest spots on popular situation comedies.

Keith was an easy choice for me, and for those of you who never saw him play - you simply would not believe how much impact on a game he could make with his defense.

At first base!

Best I ever saw, anyway.

The great defensive first basemen of the day were Keith Hernandez and Eddie Murray.  Eddie was wondrous at catching, and was pretty quick himself, but Hernandez probably had the range to be a middle infielder if he had wanted to be.  BP's defensive statistics favour Hernandez by quite a bit.
