The Biggest Stories That Haven’t Happened Yet
I once wrote an article on things that hadn’t happened in a baseball game yet. Today’s article is about something else: the biggest baseball stories that haven’t happened yet, the ones off the field (or at least not only on the field). We’re talking the stories that would get attention beyond seamheads like you or me. Go below the jump to see what I mean.
The MVP of Yesterday (April 9, 2013): Robinson Cano
The Yankees again routed the Indians yesterday, led by Robinson Cano, who went 4-6 with a HR and 5 RBIs. While the game wasn’t close enough for this to truly make a difference, it is hard to ignore, making him the MVP of Yesterday.

The MVP of Yesterday (April 7, 2013): Billy Butler
There were lots of good candidates for the MVP of yesterday, but I’m going with Billy Butler of the Royals. The main reason for this is because Butler’s 7 RBIs made up seven of Kansas City’s 9 runs as they edged out the Phillies 9-8. By comparison, Will Middlebrooks‘ 3 dingers against Toronto and Carlos Santana had five hits against Tampa, those were in blowouts- Billy Butler’s performance came in a close game.
And that is why he is the MVP of Yesterday. Go below the jump for the current MVP standings:
