Sports Thread #1 For 11/23/09: Mauer Wins AL MVP In A Run Away

By -
Only Albert Pujols winning the MVP in the NL will be more least surprising. Still, I wonder who gave Jeter or Teixeira the first place vote:
Mauer received 27 of the 28 first-place votes by the Baseball Writers Association of America to easily outdistance Mark Teixeira and Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees.

The 26-year-old Mauer batted .365 to earn his second straight A.L. batting crown. He had 327 points in the voting, well ahead of Teixeira, who had 225, and Jeter with 193.
