A list of all the penalties can be found here, on the MLS web site. There were 56 total, of which 48 were scored (85.7%).
The big story this season was Dallas' David Ferreira earning 4 penalties to lead the league. That's the most since Mamadou Diallo & Igor Simutenkov did the same in 2002. My data is incomplete for the first few years, but I don't have anyone ever getting more than 4 in a season. Diallo also accomplished the feat in 2001, and Diego Serna did it as well in 2000.
Interesting also to note fellow MVP candidate Chris Wondolowski drawing 2, with Edson Buddle nowhere to be found. I actually don't think Buddle has ever drawn a penalty in his MLS career. Most of the sources for this info were from match reports and matchtrackers (from 1999-2002, it was actually listed on MLSnet) , so please let me know if I'm wrong and you remember an instance where he has.
Chad Marshall also drew 2, both I believe from corners, while Seattle's Jeff Parke led the league in penalties conceded with 3. The last player to concede more than 2 was Danny O'Rourke (4) in 2008, who added another 2 to his career total this year.
