MVP! MVP!

Filed Under: Albert Pujols | Baseball | St. Louis Cardinals
So the baseball writers actually made the right choice this year, selecting Albert Pujols as the MVP.  Of course, Cardinal fans are biased in this regard, but when you look at all the numbers and see just how dominating AP was, it is the right choice.  Some people may disagree, but not too many.

Of course, there's always one fly in the ointment.  Some people noticed that a Milwaukee writer voted Pujols 7th, which didn't sit well.  My opinion is that the man won so it's not worth getting worked up about.  I'm just glad it wasn't where that slightly questionable vote made the difference.

Anyway, all the righteous anger posts over Pujols being denied that would have spilled into the Cardinal blogosphere are not to be.  Instead, enjoy the celebration!

Possibly my favorite note out of all of this is that Pujols now is only the second Cardinal to win multiple MVP awards.  He's one behind Stan Musial.  The Man and El Hombre, together again!

I'm usually pretty reserved when it comes to awards, and while AP's MVP ticked off some folks, I noticed it did seem to give Cardinal Nation a shot in the arm after a somewhat frustrating season.

I thought Howard's comments were classy. Handled well, considering the eggshells he must've been walking on in regards to making a statement as runner-up.

MVP is right. pujols deserves it. here's hoping we have a solid 09 campaign and AP is back in the MVP race again. i got an email that said the mlb shop was offering 30% off your order all day tomorrow (11/19) in support of MVP winners. i'm all over that..
