When Barry Bonds won the MVP award in baseball in 1991 and 1992, it was the 10th time in the history of baseball that a player had won the MVP award in back to back years. The epiphany — the miraculous reality that reveals the transcendent greatness of baseball is that if you construct the list of the nine players who accomplished the feat before Bonds, you would have one player from each of the nine positions on a baseball team (that is, of the previously nine players, there was one pitcher, one catcher, one first baseman and so on).
