Pedroia MVP!

Boston Red Sox Second Baseman - Dustin Pedroia won the AL MVP today.

This young man has burst on the baseball scene with abandon. He won a World Series Ring and the Rookie of the Year in 2007. Dustin came very close to winning the batting title in '08 as well. He is a gutsy baseball head, who is everything he is on the field off the field. He also was a Gold Glover at 2B in '08!!

Pedroia is a budding superstar. Loved by fans and team mates alike, Dustin won the MVP voting by a land slide. Team mate, Kevin Youkilis garnered third place behind Justin Morneau of the Twins.

The Sox may not have won the World Series in 2008, but proved that they will be a solid threat with their young talent for many years to come.

Congratulations young man and here's to a long a fruitful career in Boston!

PEDROIA IS AL - MVP!
