Harper became the seventh player in National League MVP balloting to win the award by a unanimous vote. The others were Orlando Cepeda, Mike Schmidt, Jeff Bagwell, Ken Caminiti, Barry Bonds and Albert Pujols, the previous such winner, in 2009. There have been 10 unanimous winners in the American League, most recently Mike Trout last year. Harper had not received a vote in any previous MVP election. The only other unanimous winner in either league with that distinction was Caminiti, who received MVP votes only in the year he won the award, 1996.
