Pujols Finishes Fourth In MVP Voting

The National League MVP award was handed out yesterday and to no one’s surprise it went to San Francisco outfielder Barry Bonds. Of course Bonds set a single-season home run record with 73 longballs. St. Louis Cardinal rookie sensation Albert Pujols made a run in the voting, finishing fourth. Pujols, of course, won the Rookie of the Year award last week and this finish in the MVP race is the highest for a rookie since Boston’s Fred Lynn won the award back in 1975.
