There is no rational explanation for how Hank Aaron ended up in 8th place in the MVP voting following the 1961 season. He was straight-out robbed, but at least you can make an argument that Willie Mays was the one robbed instead, as he finished 6th. Of course, I feel bad declaring that anyone was robbed when the great Frank Robinson won, but he was, at best, the 3rd best player in the National League that year.
