Today’s quote is by Connie Mack:
“There has been only one manager, and his name is John McGraw.”
MVP of Yesterday (4-20-2013): Bryce Harper… again.
3-for-3. Two homers. 3 RBIs. A walk. All in a close 7-6 Nationals win. Bryce Harper is pulling ahead in the MVP standings (which can be found after the jump).
Honorable mentions: Daniel Nava, Lorenzo Cain, Joey Votto, Chris Davis, Mike Trout, A good chunk of the Cleveland Indians
MVP of Yesterday (April 17, 2013): Bryce Harper
Bryce Harper may not have had the most RBIs or the clutchest hits. But he did have 4 hits… despite flu-like symptoms that had him at one point vomiting between innings.
With this, Harper becomes the first two-time winner of the MVP of Yesterday- the standings can be seen after jump:

Today’s random find from the Library of Congress Flickr Feed is of Oscar Stanage, who played parts of 14 years in the big leagues, mainly with Detroit.
MVP of Yesterday (April 13, 2013): Adam Wainwright
Perhaps had Matt Harvey gotten a no-hitter, he would have been the MVP. But he didn’t so Adam Wainwright wins it. In his 8-0 complete game shutout victory over the Brewers yesterday, Wainwright not only struck out 12 while giving up only four hits, he also had three hits and two RBIs of his own. And for that, he is the MVP of Yesterday.
Honorable Mentions: Matt Harvey, Wilin Rosario, Nick Swisher
