This is really an exciting time in the NL. Not only is this a Triple Crown watch but also the MVP watch. Both guys will be very deserving and I'm not one of these believers that think that whoever's team makes the playoffs, that's who should win MVP. This is why this is so great, they are both trying to get their team in the playoffs. Its a race within a race! Here is how Albert Pujols and Joey Votto compare as of right now.
Batting Average:
2. Votto- .321
5. Pujols- .309
Homeruns:
1. Pujols- 35
3. Votto- 32
RBI:
1. Votto- 98
2. Pujols- 96
Pujols definitely has the edge and it would be fitting for a Cardinal to win the Triple Crown. The last NL Triple Crown winner was Joe "Ducky" Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals all the way back in 1937.
