Two in a Row for Albert

Albert Pujols sweeps the first place voting and takes home the NL MVP for a second straight year. Pujola joined an elite crowd by winning his third overall MVP. Only Barry Bonds has more with seven. Subtract the steroids and Bonds would have three also. Pujols led the league in homeruns, was sixth in hits and third in RBI. He also finished with a .327 batting average. Albert also led the league in put outs and finished with a .992 fielding percentage. The race for second was much closer. While pujols received all the first place votes and earned 448 points, Hanley Ramirez beat out Ryan Howard and Prince Fielder by mere points with 233 compared to 217 and 203 respectively. Pujols continues to be a premiere player.
