- "NO, because he's on a team of rich guys getting it done."
- Jeter didn't even get both New York voters. (see Ed Price, Newark Star Ledger). So much for the supposed favoritism of New York media. Jack O'Connell issued no penalty for Christensen's blatant act.

- Joe Christensen, Star Tribune, 9/19/06 on XM Radio MLB Channel 175 was asked his view
- of Jeter as an MVP candidate. Christensen said,
- "NO, because he's on a team of rich guys
- getting it done."
- supposed favoritism of New York media.
- and are ethically grounded.
"I believe in the credibility of writers as a group, and that comes from working with them through the years at a lot of levels," Claire says. "They are the keenest observers of the game. They are less pressured than any group you can think of."
- (Jack) O'Connell agrees. While many players receive bonuses for winning awards, deepening the potential for conflict,
- O'Connell says his voters take their ballots seriously.
"I've been doing this for 12 years and I've never had to call after receiving a ballot and say, 'What are you doing?' " he said. "We've had our share of controversy ...
- but nobody's ever said, 'I'm not going to vote for this guy because he's going to make $100,000 if he wins, or because I hate his guts.' " ***
