Robbie Cano , who is the Bronx Bombers Star Now, finished 4th and he will be back for Seasons to come.

MIGGY of the D's 2012 Numbers (Number in Parenthesis AL Ranking)

.330 Avg (1st)  44 HR (1st) 139 RBI (1st) .606 SLG% (1st) .999 OPS% (1st) 109 Runs (2nd) 205 Hits (2nd)

TROUT of the Halos Numbers

.326 Avg (2nd)  30 HR (tied 13th) 83 RBI (23rd)  .564 SLG% (3rd) ..963 OPS% (2nd) 129 Runs (1st) 49 Thefts (1st) 182 Hits (tied 9th)

Miggy and Trout went after each other but if you look at the Numbers closely Miggy Dominated at Major Categories. Yes Trout put up amazing Runs Numbers, Thefts, and Average for a Rookie but Miggy was the 1st Triple Crown Winner since 1967 and 1st in Average, Bombs, Ribbies, Slugging and OPS (On Base Percentage + Slugging Percentage), and #2 in Hits behind the Ageless Wonder on 161st and River Street Bronx...Derek Jeter.

Both Players dominated the Show like No Others in recent Memory and Trout still took home the AL Rookie of The Year and was a 2012 All-Star.
