Albert Pujols Wins NL MVP

The National League MVP winner was announced today, as St. Louis Cardinals first-baseman Albert Pujols collects his second career MVP trophy. Pujols hit .357 with 37 home runs and 116 RBIs, all while dealing with an injured elbow which required offseason surgery.

It's the first time a 4th place Club held the MVP winner since Andre Dawson did it with the Cubs in 1987. Congratulations to Mr. Albert Pujols.

AL Cy Young: Cliff Lee CLE

Haha your absolutely right on that, I tend to disagree with the Pedroia pick in today's AL MVP though.
