“I struggled for 15 games without a homer but wow, you guys were going crazy,” Pujols told reporters. “If you want to point at the elbow you can do that.

“I wasn’t expecting myself to be hot for six months. I struggled towards the end and if I can struggle again next year like that, then I’ll take that every year.”
Florida Marlins Hanley Ramirez finished 2nd, behind with 233 points.
