Congrats to the winners, and thank you for your votes.
A few random notes:
-- This is the third Cy Young in a row for Sale, and his fourth overall. Winning three in a row ties Clayton Kershaw, but trails Randy Johnson's four in a row from 2000-2003. Four Cy Youngs ties Pedro Martinez, but trails Johnson's five Cy's.
-- We may as well rename the two EL MOY and GMOY awards the "Sylvester Awards." Bob has now won EL MOY seven times (a BDBL record.) He has won EL GMOY five times, which is second only to my eight GMOY awards. Bobby has won MOY twice, and GMOY five times. Put it all together, and the Sylvester family has won MOY nine times and GMOY ten times!
-- This is only my second Manager of the Year award. The last one came all the way back in 2002!
-- This is the eighth year in a row the same player won the OL MVP and BR awards. It's been five years in a row for the EL. Maybe we should just get rid of the Babe Ruth award?
-- Believe it or not, this is the FIRST TIME an Undertaker has won the MVP award.
-- How is Yelich not the MVP? Seriously.
-- Max Muncy and his 408 AB's earned more MVP votes than Alex Bregman.
-- Bobby earned two votes for Manager of the Year, despite the fact that he MP'ed almost the entire season!
-- Mike Ranney and Ryne Gill, whose teams lost over 100 games this season, earned as many votes for MOY as John Gill, whose team won the division with 98 wins!
-- Sale earned only two first-place votes for MVP. Y'all weren't paying attention. Two voters didn't think Sale was worthy of the top-three for Cy Young!
-- Aguilar won the MVP despite the fact that one person left him off the ballot completely!
