gridloreBonds wins record seventh MVP Award
Barry Bonds won his record seventh NL MVP award in a walk.
Capping a season of suspicion and success, the San Francisco Giants left fielder became the oldest player to win the award. The 40-year-old received 24 first-place votes and 407 points Monday in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America to earn the award for the fourth straight season.
Los Angeles third baseman Adrian Beltre was second, getting six first-place votes and 311 points, and St. Louis first baseman Albert Pujols was third with one first and 247 points. St. Louis third baseman Scott Rolen got the other first-place vote and finished fourth, followed by teammate Jim Edmonds.
Can we please get some support for this guy? A .350 hitter behind Bonds would give us an unstoppable offense. We have a solid starting rotation, and just need a dedicated closer.
Three months, more or less, until spring training!
