I don't want to sound redundant, but this decision is equally if not more obvious than the Mauer pick for MVP. If you haven't already heard Albert Pujols has been crowned NL MVP in a unanimous decision, blowing Hanley Ramirez and Ryan Howard out of the water who came in second and third respectively. This season Pujols topped almost every batting category in the league, homers (47), runs (124), slugging percentage (.658) and intentional walks (44), and topped the NL in on-base percentage (.443). And third in BA (.327) and RBIs (135). At what point do we tear the skin off of Pujols and find some type of titanium alloy. The man played with FIVE, count 'em FIVE, bone spurs in his right elbow, nutty. I was listening to some sports radio and they were comparing him to great hitters such as Ted Williams and Tony Gwynn, which is kind of scary but is true. In the eight out of the nine seasons he's been in the league, he has placed in the top 4 for MVP voting, winning it 3 times. He's incredible, who can forget when he knocked the "I" out of "Big Mac Land" this year. Unreal.
