Pujols edges Howard for NL MVP
Ryan Howard won the National League MVP in 2006.
Jimmy Rollins won the National League MVP in 2007.
But the Phillies quest to make it three straight years with an MVP trophy in their clubhouse came to an end Monday - although Howard certainly gave his team a fighting chance.
The Baseball Writers' Association of American tabbed St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols the 2008 National League MVP.
Howard, who led the major leagues with 48 home runs and 146 RBIs but hit .251, finished second to Pujols. Pujols, who also won the award in 2005, hit .357 with 37 home runs and 116 RBIs.
Pujols received 18 of the 32 first-place votes.
