[MLS AWARDS] San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski, whose 27 goals this season tied the all-time MLS single-season goal record, was the runway winner of the 2012 Volkswagen MLS MVP award, garnering more than than 90 percent of the media and MLS club management votes.
 
Wondolowski became the only player in MLS history to score the most regular season goals in three consecutive seasons. He also earned four MLS Player of the Month awards in 2012 -- a feat unrivaled in MLS history.
 
The California native led the Earthquakes to their second Supporters’ Shield title a year after they finished 14th overall in the League.
 
New York Red Bulls forward Thierry Henry finished second in the voting that also included players. Sporting Kansas City midfielder Graham Zusi was third and Houston Dynamo midfielder Brad Davis fourth.
