[情報] Pujols, Jeter win Hank Aaron Award
PHILADELPHIA — Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols, who figures to win his
third National League Most Valuable Player award next month, won a second
Hank Aaron award Sunday night.
Pujols and the New York Yankees’ Derek Jeter (American League) were
announced as the 2009 Aaron winners before Game 4 of the World Series
although Pujols, who recently had right elbow surgery, was not on hand.
The award, named for the former great Milwaukee and Atlanta slugger, goes to
the best overall offensive performer in each league. The winners were derived
from online fan balloting.
Pujols, who also was honored in 2003, had 47 homers this season, marking the
first time he has led the league in homers and the first Cardinal to lead
since new hitting coach Mark McGwire in 1998-99. Besides leading the majors
in homers, he also led in runs scored (124), on-base percentage (.443) and
slugging (.658).
Besides hitting .327 and driving in 135 runs, both of which were third in the
league, Pujols was 10 for 17 with five home runs when hitting with the bases
loaded. His 44 intentional walks were a major-league record for a righthanded
batter.
Pujols is the only player in baseball history to hit above .300 with 30 or
more homers and 100 or more runs batted in his first nine seasons in the
majors.
