"...There were other players with more home runs (Andruw Jones with 51), and other players with higher batting averages (Derek Lee), but no one meant more to his team than Pujols meant to the Cardinals...
Pujols hit .330, with 41 home runs, 117 RBI, and scored 129 runs...
(He) is the first Cardinal to win the MVP award since 1985, when Willie McGee won the award..."

By winning the MVP, Pujols joins the ranks with other Cardinal greats such as: Willie McGee (1985), Joe Torre (1971), Bob Gibson (1968), Stan Musial (1943, 1946, 1948), and Dizzy Dean (1934).

Not to mention, he joins the ranks of other past NL winners: Ryne Sandberg (1984), Pete Rose (1973), Johnny Bench (1970, 1972), Roberto Clemente (1966), Willie Mays (1954 with New York and 1965 with San Francisco), Sandy Koufax (1963), Hank Aaron (1957), Roy Campanella (1951, 1953, 1955), and Jackie Robinson (1949).
