Well, the Baseball Writers of America have proven many people wrong (including me) in actually making a very intelligent choice for the NL MVP. In a narrow vote, Albert Pujols beat out Ryan Howard. I don't have time to do a lot of analysis with this now, but Pujols often gets overlooked because he's just so good that he has to be incredible to even get noticed. But in a race without a clear favorite, the fact that he is (by a fairly large margin) the best hitter in baseball was able to make him a deserving winner of the MVP award.
Their biggest mistake? Chase Utley 15th!! He probably deserved to be about 2nd.
