Mike Trout, Clayton Kershaw named MVPs

Trout finished second in MVP voting as a rookie in 2012 and again in 2013, both times behind the Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera.

The 23-year-old beat out Victor Martinez of the Tigers and Michael Brantley of the Cleveland Indians, earning all 30 first-place votes.

Trout hit 36 homers for AL West champions the Angels, leading the league for RBIs (111) and runs (115).

"It's unbelievable, just to think about it," Trout told MLB Network.

"If you would've told me this before, when the season started, I would've just laughed at you. This is an unbelievable feeling. It's awesome."

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw, winner of the National League Cy Young Award on Wednesday, was his league's MVP with 18 first-place votes.
