Garrett Wilson points out that Baseball-Reference has obviously deleted Ryan Brauns’ 2011 MVP deliberately.  At first, I was behind Ryan Braun, but after hearing all the sides, I still think he is a BIG FAT CHEATER!   He just got off.  That’s just my opinion and I’m sticking to it.  I support Baseball-Reference for their stand!
