Randy Johnson has also won the Cy Young Award five times. Of those four, Tejada and Pujols have won Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards during their careers, and the other two have been named MVPs of the World series. Various editions of the game have featured Randy Johnson, Miguel Tejada, Albert Pujols, and Manny Ramírez on its cover. MVP Baseball 2004 featured a unique addition to any baseball game, allowing users to play as the Minor League affiliations of Major League teams, a feature that was expanded in the following year. In MVP Baseball 2005, he was replaced by the fictional Anthony Friese. For example Kevin Millar, who is also not a member of the MLBPA, was omitted completely from the 2004 edition, with David Ortiz leaving his real-life DH spot and filling at first base for the Red Sox.
Some other players who are not members of the MLBPA were omitted completely. Until 2005, the game featured all players in the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA), as well as fictionalized counterparts for players who are not in the union, such as Jon Dowd in place of Barry Bonds.
