Are you using Baseball Reference for your WAR, or FanGraphs? Or something else?
Let's not forget the year Jackie won MVP where (according to Baseball Reference) Jackie's WAR was 9.3 compared to Campanella's 4.5

I am not trying to argue who is the best player, I am just saying that going based off of Campanella's 3 MVPs is not a great indicator that he was a better player than Jackie. |
Yes, I am using Baseball Reference for my WAR numbers.
I think the voters made the right decision in each of the three years, at least insofar as selecting Campy over Robinson.
