Congratulations to Alex Rodriguez on winning the 2005 AL MVP award.

In the end, he finished ahead of David Ortiz by 24 points, receiving 16 of the 28 first place votes. Ortiz took 11 of them with Vladdy taking the other 1. No one had him lower than 3rd (1 guy had him third?!). No one had Ortiz lower than 2nd. Gary Sheffield came in 8th with 84 points, Mo came in 9th with 59 points, Jeter came in 10th with 23 points, Matsui came in 14th with 8 points and Giambi came in at T18th with 5 points. Good to see.
