The website of the Baseball Writers' Association of America reports the full results of the voting for the American League MVP award. Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox beat Justin Morneau of the Twins by 60 points to collect the honor.

A-Rod appeared on 19 ballots, collecting 45 points, placing him in 8th place. Mussina received a lone eighth place vote, allowing him to claim 19th place.

Somehow, some way, Mariano Rivera did not appear on a single ballot. Despite the fact that Francisco Rodriguez finished in sixth place with 143 votes.
