Not true. It's more rare for a winner to have a low RBI total. but does happen.
1950 - Phi Rizzuto / 66 RBIs
1960 - Dick Groat / 50 RBIs
1962 - Maury Wills / 48 RBIs
1965 - Zoilo Versalles / 77 RBIs
1973 - Pete Rose / 64 RBIs
1988 - Kirk Gibson / 76 RBIs
1990 - Rickey Henderson / 61 RBIs
1995 - Barry Larkin / 66 RBIs
2001 - Ichiro Suzuki / 69 RBIs
2008 - Dustin Pedroia / 83 RBIs
Not counting all the pitchers that have won it with no RBIs ;) If anything it's nice to have something exciting to talk about in baseball.
