PHOENIX – Clayton Kershaw stands a good chance of becoming the first National League pitcher to win an MVP award in 46 years when the award is announced on Thursday, but one Dodgers legend doesn't think he merits it. Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda said he thinks the MVP should be reserved for everyday players.Then again, take it with a grain of salt. Lasorda is 87. He was 41 the last time an NL pitcher, Bob Gibson, took the MVP.
