ARod wins AL MVP award, but not unanimously.
ARod got 26 of the 28 first place votes. The other two first place votes went to Magglio Ordonez of the Detroit Tigers. The voters who chose Ordonez over ARod? Writers from the Detroit News and Oakland Press (Pontiac, Michigan).
*cough*

Ted Williams won the Triple Crown in '42 and '47 and didn't get the MVP those years - I don't think the fact that A-Rod did not get a unanimous vote is that out of line. At least A-Rod still got his MVP, unanimous or not.
