Wagner's 6th ballot appearance. Everyone who has 6 MMP appearances is in the HoM except Dale Murphy.

5th time for Lajoie. 4 for Chance and Flick. 3 for Vic Willis.

48 points is the minimum you can get by appearing on 8 ballots and Harry Steinfeldt got 53 points from 8 ballots.

As DL noted, this is Honus Wagner's second straight MMP. It's also his fourth NL-only MMP ('02, '04-'06) and fifth straight NL position player MMP ('02-'06). That's some old school dominance. Robin Roberts was the NL pitching MMP for five straight seasons ('51-'55) and Mickey Mantle was the AL position player MMP for five as well ('55-'59) but no one has made it to six in a row yet.

Congratulations to Mordecai "Three-Finger" Brown, who is the pitching MMP for 1906. Brown is the second Cub to win this award, joining Rick Reuschel (1977). However, Brown's 4th place showing is the lowest spot for a pitching MMP so far in the 'aughts as every other season featured a pitcher finishing first or second overall.
   5. Qufini Posted: July 08, 2015 at 05:16 PM (#4995249)
Congratulations to George Stone, the AL MMP of 1906. Stone is the only Brown to be named AL MMP so far though Frank Robinson ('66) and Cal Ripken Jr. ('83, '84) won the award after the franchise moved to Baltimore.

Congratulations to Al Orth of the New York Highlanders. He may not have cracked the top ten but his 11th place finish is still tops among AL pitchers. Orth is the second Highlander to be the AL pitcher MMP, following Jack Chesbro ('04) although Whitey Ford ('61) and Ron Guidry ('78) also won the award after the franchise changed their name to the Yankees.
   7. Qufini Posted: July 08, 2015 at 05:22 PM (#4995259)
Finally, congratulations to Dan McClellan, 1906's Negro League MMP. McClellan is the third straight Philadelphia Giant to win the award after Rube Foster ('04) and Pete Hill ('05).
