Josh Hamilton ran away with the MVP award. He got 22 of 28 possible first-place votes and beat out Detroit's Miguel Cabrera and NY Robinson Cano.
Hamilton hit a major league leading .359 with 32 Hrs and 100 RBI's. He also led the league with a .633 slugging percentage and was second with a .411 on-base percentage.
Who knows what would happened if he had not missed most of September with a rib injury?
Hamilton was selected because he is a genuine "5 tool player". It's tough to explain how great Hamilton is unless you watch him "day in and day out" like we did in Texas.
Hamilton is 29 and should enjoy lots of great seasons in Texas. (Let's hope that Nolan Ryan gets Hamilton to sign a nice long term contract)
Again, ccongratulations to Hamilton. He had one of the greatest seasons that I've seen from a home team player.
