The Detroit Tigers? Miguel Cabrera has won the American League?s Most Valuable Player award after becoming baseball?s first triple crown winner in 45 years, and San Francisco?s Buster Posey has been voted the National League honor.

Cabrera had a .330 batting average, 44 home runs, and 139 runs batted in

Posey won the N.L. award after returning from a devastating leg injury and becoming the first catcher in 70 years to win the league?s batting title.

Posey received 27 of 32 first-place votes and 422 points, outdistancing Ryan Braun of Milwaukee, the 2011 winner, who was second with 285 points.
