Adam Jones Named 2012 Most Valuable Oriole
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- For the second year in a row, O's center-fielder Adam Jones is named the team's most valuable player.
Jones will be honored at Camden Yards Sunday, before the Birds wrap up a three game series with the Boston Red Sox.
The two-time All-Star set a number of new career highs this season--including most games played (158), home runs (32), and doubles (39). With one more double, Jones will become the fifth Oriole in club history to have a 40 double/30 home run season. He is also the first player in 40 years to hit three game-winning home runs in the 12th inning or later.
Jones' accomplishments off the field aren't going unnoticed either. On Friday, he was given a key to the city for his outstanding community service.
