| 1998 | Sammy Sosa, who received 28 of the 30 writers' first-place votes, is selected as the National League MVP, creating a historical Latin American sweep of the MVP awards with Ranger Juan Gonzalez winning the award in the American League this season. The Texas outfielder easily outpoints shortstops Nomar Garciaparra of the Red Sox and the Yankees' Derek Jeter to cop the AL honor. |
| 2007 | Alex Rodriguez (.314, 54, 156), receiving 26 out of 28 first-place votes cast by the BBWAA, wins his third American League Most Valuable Player Award, the second as a Yankee (2005).
