Joe Mauer runs away with the AL MVP award. The best part is that he beat out Mark Teixeira and Derek Jeter of the Yankees. Mauer put up some impressive numbers considering he was out for about a month and a half to start the season. Mauer finished the season with a .365 average, 28 homeruns, 96 RBI and 94 runs. Teixeira had slightly higher homerun and RBI numbers but did so in 86 more at-bats. Mauer propelled the Twins to an AL Central penant. Teixeira and Jeter both received ribbons for participation. Maybe next year pinstripers!
