The Minnesota Twins' catcher Joe Mauer has been named Most Valuable Player for 2009 in the American League. The Twins star received 27 out of 28 first place votes and finished comfortably in first place ahead of Mark Teixeira and Derek Jeter.
Mauer's season started perfectly hitting a home run in his first at bat. Mauer finished with a league leading .365 average and on-base percentage of .444. Mauer was obviously a deserved winner having helped his Twins to the playoffs.
