NL MVP for Bonds
Familiar Face: Bonds
For Barry Bonds, the awards and records continue to pile up. Bonds won his second straight MVP award for an unprecendented fifth time. Bonds was chosen unanimously over the Cardinals' Albert Pujols. Bonds, 38, finished the season with a Major League-leading .370 average to become the oldest first-time batting champion in MLB history. He broke his own year-old big-league record by walking 198 times -- including a record-breaking 68 intentional free passes -- while shattering Ted Williams' 60-year-old mark by reaching base at a .582 clip.

AL MVP for Tejada
New Face: Tejada
There was no shortage of material to support naming Oakland A's shortstop Miguel Tejada as the American League Most Valuable Player. Tejada set career highs in batting average (.308), hits (204), RBIs (131), home runs (34), total bases (.336), runs (108) on-base percentage (.354), fielding percentage (.975) and slugging percentage (.508). He hit .325 with 19 homers in the season's second half -- including a dramatic homer off All-Star Eddie Guardado to beat the Twins on Sept. 1, extending Oakland's winning streak to 18 games on the way to an AL-record 20 -- as the A's stormed to the AL West title.
