Albert Pujols received his third MVP award, and his second consecutive. He won unanimously, by all 32 voters. Pujols plays first base for the St. Louis Cardinals, and had a batting average of .334. He also led the NL with the most home runs, 47.
He was also the leader in runs scored (124), slugging percentage (.658), intentional walks (44) and had an on base percentage was .443. Pujols had surgery in October to remove a bone spur and bone chips from his right elbow. There was a chance he would require ligament replacement surgey, which would’ve kept him out for half of the season, but it no longer looks necessary.
Along with winning this award, he will receive a $200,000 bonus, $16 million for next season, and a possibility for 2011.
