NEW YORK (AP) -- Jimmy Rollins won the National League MVP award
in a close race over the Colorado Rockies' Matt Holliday today,
boosted by speed and steady all-around play that drove the
Philadelphia Phillies to their first playoff berth in 14 years.
The Gold Glove shortstop received 16 of 32 first-place votes and
finished with 353 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers'
Association of America.
Holliday, who led Colorado's surprising charge to the World
Series, was the runner-up with 11 first-place votes and 336 points.
Milwaukee slugger Prince Fielder came in third, with five
first-place votes and 284 points.
Holliday, the NL championship series MVP, hit .340 with 137
RBIs.
He's the third player since 1967 to lead a league in both
categories.
