As anticipated and expected, St. Louis first baseman Albert Pujols was the named the unanimous N.L. MVP today for the third time in five years, raking in all 32 first place votes. This is also his second straight MVP award. Pujols won his first in 2005.
Hanley Ramirez, Ryan Howard and Prince Fielder finished a distant second through fourth in the voting, respectively. Dodger outfielder Andre Ethier, who led the Majors with six walk-off hits, four of which were home runs, earned two second place votes and 24 overall, good for sixth overall in the balloting. Matt Kemp earned enough votes (12, none higher than fourth place) to finish 10th overall in the voting.
