Mauer wins AL MVP
November 23, 2009
No surprise here. Most everyone expected Joe Mauer to win the award with the performance he displayed last year.
Mauer recieved 27 of the 28 first place votes and was 162 votes ahead of 2nd place finisher Mark Teixeira of the New York Yankees.
Mauer became the fifth Twins player in history to win the MVP Award. Fellow teammate Justin Morneau took home the honor in 2006. Zoilo Versalles won in 1965, Harmon Killebrew in 1969 and Rod Carew in 1977.
