and a Gold Glove in CF

Yet somehow he was only ninth in the MVP voting.

And in 8th place, with 8.6 bWAR to Davis's 7.9 was Tony Gwynn.

What did Gwynn do that year?

.370/.447/.511 (.958 OPS)
82 BB (career high) to only 35 K in 680 PA
7 HR but speed
13 3B and (not a misprint) 56(!) SB to only 12 CS

SI
