For the first time in history, it is truly possible that two Dominican baseball player will win the Most Valuable Player trophy in each league. In the National League, there is a tight race between Alberto Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Andruw Jones, from Curacao for the trophy. In the American League, the recent multi-homer games of David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox have pushed Ortiz to the front of the list for many sportwriters. He could well become the first Designated Batter to win the MVP award. While the St. Louis Cardinals have already sewed up their post-season appearance, the Red Sox are in a duel with the New York Yankees. The season ends for both teams with a three game series in Boston. Another stand-out, Bartolo Colon became the first pitcher to win 20 games this season and the first Los Angeles Angel to do the trick since Nolan Ryan in 1974. Ortiz’s numbers are becoming records for Boston. With 46 homeruns he now holds the record for left-handed batters and he is tied with Jim Rice for number two on the all-time hit list. Ortiz has nine multi-homer games, just one behind baseball immortal Jimmie Foxx.
