1. DL from MN Posted: July 19, 2012 at 01:59 PM (#4187120)Mike Schmidt (6 of 14) had the lowest percentage of first place votes for an MMP since Reggie Jackson beat out Rico Petrocelli, Willie McCovey and Bob Gibson in 1969. It's the second-lowest percentage to date.
Gaylord Perry was the first AL pitcher to win (or co-win) the pitching MMP since Dean Chance in 1964. It's also the first tie since 1961 when Drysdale, Ford and Spahn received one vote each.
This also marks the fourth year in a row that a pitcher was considered the MMP of the American League following Vida Blue, Perry and Bert Blyleven.
Mike Schmidt is the 1st third baseman to win the overall MMP, but the second to win the award for the NL following Ron Santo in 1967 (who finished 2nd to Carl Yastrzemski that year).
We jumble up the pitchers more than MVP voters and we're voting both leagues in one ballot. 10th in his league is fair.
