Well technically, the AL MVP will be Gary Sheffield of the New York Losers, err I mean Yankees(hey I couldn't help it. Besides, the only thing with the Empire I hate is "The Boss" and not the team nor players nor even the fans. Besides, Red Sox won't get this type of dominance for the next century for sure, knowing history)............however, Ichiro's record is just f*cking amazing. Not to mention this accomplishment adds to his AL MVP and AL Rookie of the Year and Gold Gloves and even All-Star trophies that are currently collecting dust in the Man in Japan's small expensive apartment somewhere in the land of Godzilla...
