For 1 Gary Carter place 12th in voting (not 2 or 3 and not close)
Dale Murphy got 14 First place votes and Carter got 0.
Dale Murphy 36 HR, 109 RBI, and 113 Runs
Gary Carter 29 HR , 97 RBI , and 91 Runs
So hard to accept he got robbed when Dale had better stats, more 1st place voted (to no first place votes) and 11 other players were deemed more valuable that year than him

I hear you but remember Carter did that from the catching position. When your team has a catcher that can hit like that he can be much more valuable than an outfielder with similar stats. Catchers are much harder to come by. Just ask the 2022 Mets.
