Actually I opened new tabs between and flipped between.
It is identical excluding the better depth perception the new one offers.
This should work in Feilx' favor right?
I mean, they specifically changed it from most valuable to stress the team-independence of the award.

I think it has said "Outstanding" since the mid-80s
I’ve seen pictures of Maddux’ and Randy Johnson’s Awards, and they say “Outstanding”. Fenway has plaques for Clemens and Pedro that say “Outstanding” back to 1986, but I don’t know if those are replicas made later. KC has Greinke’s award displayed with their past winners too, though, and they say “Outstanding” all the way back to Saberhagen’s ‘85 award, so unless both are inaccurate replicas, that would put ’84 or ’85 as the year they switched. I don’t think it was a single clear switch, because some older years have “Outstanding” on the award, but I’ve never seen one say “Most Valuable” from the mid-80s on.
This sucks, but it doesn't surprise me. Old people always have more say in everything.
Risking moving into politics, but just because it’s fun: The median age of current US Senators is almost 64 years old.
There is 1 senator under the age of 40, and 27 over the age of 70.
If we start offing the old people, maybe Felix has a shot.
I am going to come into your house at night and rec up the place.
The hand poking out is quite creepy.
They may as well just shove a baseball in the gob of a Big Mouth Billy Bass and have it sing Sunshine and Lollipops.

I keep looking at it thinking it should be answering a phone.
Yes, creepy. Kind of kooky at the same time, with a bit of spookiness thrown in.

If I was a LHP and won that award, I'd be pissed
