“In the closest vote in years, Matt was nosed out in the 2007 National League MVP vote.  Holliday didn’t miss much else, though, and his fourth consecutive season of steady improvement resulted in some monster stats.  Among his numerous career highs were NL-best marks in batting average (.340), hits (216), RBI (137) and total bases (386).  Holliday kept swinging into the postseason, earning NLCS MVP honors.“
