2011 MVP

Superior League

Joe Young wins his 5th MVP award and 3rd in a row. After signing a megadeal in Miami, Joe won the batting title at .365, hit 35 homers and drove in 103 runs. His OBP of .462 was second in the league, and he led with a .657 slugging percentage while leading his team to 100 wins.

Mark Crawford is used to finishing runner up to Young, and did so again. Crawford hit .323, hit 39 homers, stole 37 bases, scored 136 runs and knocked in 137. A fine lefty hitter, center fielder, and Texas fan favorite, his career might be what Josh Hamilton's would look like if he were a bit more durable and stayed away from drugs at the start of his career.

Frank Lewis (.496 OBP) finished 3rd, followed by Sam Robinson and Jacen Solo.

Major League

Wellington Gehrig Bear wins the award in his first season as a NY Cobra. The Bear hit .325 with 31 homers and 105 RBI. Finishing a close second, Miguel Cruz and his Bay Area Bandits fell just short of the playoffs. Cruz won the batting title (.330) and also hit 33 homers and drove in 115. Yoda Skywalker (.315, 27 HR, 31 SB) finished 3rd, followed by Chad White (36 HR, 121 RBI) and Hank Crowell (31 HR, 112 RBI).

Bear wins his second MVP award, and has now won the award in both leagues. He joins Conan, Jose Rubiera, and Rod Jackson as the only players to do so.
