By now most baseball fans are probably aware of Paul Goldschmidt being named the National League Most Valuable Player for 2022. This is Goldschmidt’s first MVP award after coming in second in 2013 and 2015. Goldy is the Cardinals first MVP winner since Albert Pujols won the award in 2009.
The other major story for the Cardinals surrounding the NL MVP of course was Nolan Arenado. Arenado landed in third place after Manny Machado in the MVP voting. You can see the entire voting breakdown here.
I thought having two players in the top three for MVP would be a somewhat rare occurrence, but since 1911 the Cardinals have now done that at least six times.
