Remember 2005? Looking back at my notes, I found this one about the MVP selection that season.
Albert Pujols was selected the NL MVP.
I disagreed with the choice. I would have voted for Andruw Jones, who led the majors in HRs and plays center better than anyone else in baseball.
Again, I am not saying anything negative against Pujols. However, Jones played a key role in leading the young Braves to the division title.
The Cardinals would have been in the NL Central without Pujols. The Braves would have faded without Jones' leadership.
