The American League announced their MVP yesterday as well. After taking runner-up honors to Miguel Cabrera the last two seasons, Mike Trout took home the UNANIMOUS award yesterday. That's right-- everybody voted for him.
Trout is the fifth-youngest winner of the award and the youngest to win in a unanimous vote.
He was tops in the AL with 111 RBIs this season and batted .287 with a career-high 36 home runs. He led the league in both runs scored (115) and total bases (338). He is the first AL MVP to win by unanimous vote since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1997.
Did I mention that he's only 23?
I can't wait to see how much better this kid gets.
