Should've been Trout's third instead of his first

Los Angeles is the city of stars, but in 2014 it was also the city of baseball's two most valuable players.

Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels and Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers were named the AL and NL MVPs on Thursday, bringing both pieces of hardware back to Hollywood. Well, Anaheim in Trout's case, but close enough.

They're the two best players in baseball — the best hitter and the best pitcher — and while some people in Detroit or St. Louis might claim blasphemy, if you strip away any favoritism, it's true. Trout is the best run producer in the game, and Kershaw is the toughest in the game to score against. And now the Baseball Writers Association of America have cemented their MVP status. For this year, at least.

Trout was a unanimous winner, making him just the 10th MVP to sweep the voting. The NL vote was closer, but Kershaw still received 18 first-place votes, enough to handily beat Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins.
