A-Rod Gets MVP Nod

There Is Justice In Baseball.

I was concerned over nothing.

A-Rod won the MVP award today, just like he should have.

NEW YORK (AP) -- For all their big hits, fielding was the difference between Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz when it came to balloting for the American League's Most Valuable Player.

A-Rod won the award for the second time in three seasons in a vote that rewarded an all-around player over a designated hitter. In his second season as the New York Yankees' third baseman, Rodriguez received 16 first-place votes, 11 seconds and one third for 331 points from the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

Ortiz, the DH for the Boston Red Sox, got 11 firsts and 17 seconds for 307 points. Los Angeles Angels outfielder Vladimir Guerrero received the other first-place vote and was third with 196 points.

I still want to know what chuckleheads out there voted for Ortiz first, or Vlad for that matter!

Come on, the choice was obvious.
