A-Rod is Not U-nanimous

Alex Rodriguez garnered all 26 of 28 first place votes to snatch up his 3rd MVP award. It's A-Rod's 2nd as a Yankee in 3 years.

We reported earlier that the voting was unanimous, but that turned out to be wrong. 2 voters, for whatever reason, selected Magglio Ordonez with their 1st place votes.

UPDATE: 3:01 PM EST

The only two first-place votes that didn't go to Rodriguez were from Tom Gage of The Detroit News and Jim Hawkins of The Oakland Press in Pontiac, Mich. Biased voting anyone?
