The Most Meritorious NL player was won in a squeaker, with Mike Schmidt finishing but two points ahead of George Foster. The Most Meritorious Pitcher was Rick Reuschel, who was also the top NL pitcher. Jim Palmer was the top AL pitcher.
This is Joe Morgan‘s first finish outside the top three spots since 1971, when he did not receive any votes.

1. fra paolo Posted: November 13, 2012 at 12:21 AM (#4301090)It was a little disappointing to only get 11 ballots. Hopefully the numbers go up for 2012. It will be interesting to run an election without 35 years of hindsight.
Still nobody elected that is not inducted into the Hall of Merit. That's remarkable. Foster finishes 3rd as the top non-HoM player.

This is also the 7th season Jim Palmer has received votes. This is the 8th season Tom Seaver has received votes.
Carew hasn't really dominated any single period. However, he's arguably putting together a better career than Frank Robinson did during the "MMP Era", which catches me by surprise.
