NEW YORK.- St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols won his third National League Most Valuable Player award on Tuesday, becoming the first player since 2004 to capture the honor in consecutive years.

Pujols, from the Dominican Republic, led Major League Baseball this year with 47 home runs and 124 runs scored and led the National League with a .443 on-base percentage to earn the MVP award in a unanimous vote.

Not since Barry Bonds won the National League MVP award from 2001 through 2004 has a player won the award in back-to-back seasons. Only Bonds, with seven NL MVP awards, has collected more than Pujols for his career.
