Verlander was tops in the AL in the pitching triple crown categories with a 2.40 ERA, 24 wins, and 250 strikeouts. He was clearly the MVP of the Tigers all season long winning big games throughout. He joins Hall Of Famer Don Newcomb as someone that has won the Rookie of the Year Award, Cy Young Award and Most Valuable Player Award.
