Diamondbacks Shut Out of NL MVP Votes
Major League Baseball announced the National League Most Valuable Player selection and for the first time in three years the winner is not someone named Albert Pujols.
The 2010 NL MVP was Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto. Votto’s win was not that surprising the type of year he had but the degree with which he won was shocking. Votto received 31 out of a possible 32 first place votes and that one vote was a second place.
