only in the NL, heres how other players in the MLB adds up
Kemp:7th in AVG, 3rd in HR, 1st in RBI
Bautista:20th in AVG, 1st in HR, 15th in RBI and he only played 149 games
Granderson:Horrible AVG, 2nd in HR, 3rd in RBI
Fielder:29th in AVG, 5th in HR, 2nd in RBI
Texeria:Horrible AVG, 3rd in HR, 7th in RBI
in all due respect i would give it to Bautista or Granderson as they hit more HR's and Hank Aaron was a home run hitter, but kemp had a good season even though he will never be this good again

The award Kemp recieved was the NL award, the AL award winner hasn't been announced yet I believe.
