All Hail The American League MVP

Everyone knew Alex Rodriguez was a guarantee for American League MVP. If you didn’t know, then you either have a meth addiction, or you’re not into sports so you probably wouldn’t be reading this sentence anyway. Rodriguez, currently in negotiations with the Yanks over a lot of money, received 26 first place votes and 382 total points (um, whatever the hell that means), to outdo Magglio Ordonez’s measly two first-place votes. Still, without a title on his resume, Rodriguez’s lasting legacy will be a comparison to Barry Bonds for the rest of his life.

Rodriguez became the ninth player to win the MVP three or more times. Barry Bonds holds the record with seven…A-Rod won his first MVP in 2003, his last season with the Texas Rangers. He also won the award while with the Yankees in 2005.
“I would trade off three for one world championship. I wouldn’t think twice about it,” said Rodriguez, who has never reached the World Series.

Further examination of A-Rod’s signed contract with the devil explicitly cites that he will forever be withheld iconic status because October success is prohibited. We’ll forward you guys the copy later.
