Joe Mauer was named Most Valuable Player for the American League on November 23, 2009. In spite of missing the first month of the season with a back injury, Mauer received 27 of 28 first place votes from the BBWAA to become the fifth Twin in history to earn MVP honors.
You say he got 27 of 18 1st place votes. I presume you mean 18 of 27.
Good stuff anyway.

27 of 28. Though 27 of 18 would be quite a trick! Thanks for the heads up on the typo, I’ll get that fixed.
