Albert Pujols picks up his 3rd MVP award and second consecutive. But we’ll look at his greatness over the course of the decade rather than this season - Not only has Pujols had an incredible year, he’s had a historic DECADE. Albert Pujols is just the 4th player to accomplish a “Decade Triple Crown” - that is, leading a league (AL or NL) in HR, RBI and batting average over the course of an entire decade. The last player to do it: Ted Williams in the 1940s.
