Jimmy Rollins Takes NL MVP

Jimmy Rollins put his money where his mouth is. Rollins said the Phillies were THE team in the NL east back in Spring Training. After a horrible start, the Phillies caught a collapsing Mets team to capture the NL East title on the last weekend of the season. Rollins was one of the chief reasons and he was awarded moments ago with the NL MVP Award.

The shortstop put together a 20-20-20-20 season - at least 20 HRs, double, triples, and stolen bases. He also won the gold glove.

Matt Holliday finished 2nd, 17 points behind.
