Congrats to A-Rod, shouldve been unanimous though. For all of the trials and tribulations hes had with the yankees its pretty amazing to think hes won 2 mvp's in the 4 seasons hes been here.

The only two first-place votes that didn't go to Rodriguez were from Tom Gage of The Detroit News and Jim Hawkins of The Oakland Press in Pontiac, Mich.
how is this allowed ?

He needs to do it in the post-season. Otherwise it doesn't count.
Good news is that there's another 3 or 4 to come with him on the Yankees.
Congrats to A-Rod on his MVP and a sensational, historically great season.
"We understand that John Henry must be embarrassed, frustrated and disappointed by his failure in this transaction. Unlike the Yankees, he chose not to go the extra distance for his fans in Boston."
Guys that just wanted to get their names out there. Disgraceful.
“I mean, people knew that Brown was out there, and that Randy was ornery all the time. And Pavano is whoever he is. But if you’re their manager, you can’t go out and write about them like that.”
F'ing homers...

Magglio got 2 first-place votes
Just looking to get invites onto talk radio shows. They are the equivalent of Trolls in a forum just looking to grab attention.

Those writers from Detroit should get their votes revoked. Not voting Alex first is right up there with that guy from Chicago putting Jeter behind A.J. Pierzynski in 2006.
I can understand (I said understand not agree) the Detroit writer backing his man Mags but who's in Oakland?

where did Jorge finish?
Jorge finished 6th and Jeter 11th.
Oakland Press in Pontiac, Michigan -- that's also Detroit area.
Damn, my head was in the same place theirs was when they voted.

It's Billy Beaner's fault! He must have been owed a favor. He's just jealous he can't afford him.

I just give up...
Well deserved.
Congrats, saw this coming.
I'm just glad I can celebrate this as a Yankee fan today and not as a baseball fan.
*grumbles*
Should have been unanimous.
Congratulations Alex. Now please do it again next year.
Congrats Alex. I think you're being overpaid based on this, so please, prove me wrong.
“You can’t ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can’t lose what you lacked at conception.”
Congrats Alex. I am much happier giving my congrats since you are still (unofficially) a Yankee.
It's A-rod's fault. He should have come out in dancing with the stars to get those two votes.

Well deserved!
Not that it comes as a surprise, but Congratulations! 156 RBI - this was a well earned MVP. We wouldn't have been to the playoffs without him. And I'm glad I can now look forward to A-Rod's future MVP seasons. Keep it up!
Meet the new boss [Hank], same as the old boss [George]
Hopefully he can improve on this lackluster effort next season...
Lance Berkman is a Yankee!! Finally a Rice U. guy on the team!
Happens all the time, right George King?
I agree, though, that it should've been unanimous. Whatever wins the Yankees did manage during their rough patch appeared to be on his shoulders alone. Congrats to A-Rod.
Funny turn of events..... Last week, this thread would have been in "Around the Majors'.
Congrat's A-Rod. Rest up, cause you just have to go out and do it again in 08!
Mastery is identifying the gap and filling it in.
Sweet.
I really wish A-rod/Boras didn't pull the crap they did. He JUST STARTED to win NY over. Now he's love/hate. I dont think he'll ever fall into good graces again.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded in 3 years.
Congrats fvcknuts.

Congrats to A-Rod on a magical season.
Ordonez had a great season but he didn't deserve even one first place vote...
where did they publish the names of the two michigan writers?
Well deserved.
nydailynews is where I read itCongrats to A-Rod on a magical season.

Well at least I can be (somewhat) proud of him now, being a lifelong Yankee and all.
Congrats, Alex!
Silly Detroit voters. I want to hear them defend themselves, just for kicks.
"Well he was going to win anyway, to we decided to support our man for the hell of it!"

This was an obvious choice.
Congrats 13
It was then I knew I'd had enough,
Burned my credit card for fuel
Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand
how wasnt this unanimous?? the league needs to do something about favoring their hometown heroes, and make them give a fair vote.
Phil Hughes is a starter!
Congrats A-Rod!!
I'm surprised it's not unanimous. Any ideas who voted for Abreu in 7th? That's more shocking to me than the Detriot writers voting for Magglio.
Why? Does it cheapen it somehow? is it only 98/100ths of an MVP?
I think two obvious homers voting for Maggs just shows how obvious a choice AROD was.
The only way anyone else even got a vote was for publicity/homerism.
If you dont plan on winning, you might as well just go home -Derek Jeter
Hehe.Congrats fvcknuts.
Congrats, now go count your money. At least donate the 1.5million bonus.
Agreed. That's why he "straps it on" in spring training.
