2005 NL MVP: Andruw Jones not Albert Pujols

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.
