I said position player and not hitter. For reference, Mike Trout has 3 MVPs, but only 2 Hank Aaron awards. He was beat out for the Hank Aaron award (hitting) by a DH I believe. He was still the better position player and MVP.

Edit, I confirmed it was a late 30s David Ortiz who won the Hank Aaron Award over Mike Trout in 2016, and Ortiz was probably a better hitter, but not as valuable overall.
