1. DL from MN Posted: February 05, 2014 at 04:21 PM (#4652240)My best player without a vote: Andy Seminick or Hank Thompson. Best Pitcher: Warren Spahn
This was a widely split vote and Rizzuto won with only 4 out of 11 first place votes. However, Rizzuto does not hold the record for the lowest percentage of first place votes. That record belongs to Reggie Jackson who had 30.7% of the first place votes in 1969.
He joins a strong delegation of Giants NL MMPs which so far includes Willie Mays ('62, '64, '65, '66), Willie McCovey ('68, '69), Will Clark ('88) and Buster Posey ('12). That's easily the most victors for any National League team and 29% of the awards handed out to date.
Garver is this year's pitching MMP. Garver played for the St. Louis Browns, who would go on to become the Baltimore Orioles in a few years. Jim Palmer previously won the pitching MMP for the Browns/Orioles in 1975. And Bob Gibson previously won the pitching MMP for St. Louis with the Cardinals from 1968 to 1970.
I was set to agree with you but then I thought I'd look at the ballots first. It came out pretty close in the final count. However, it helps that many voters indicate their 11-20th ballot spots. Blackwell was listed first on 6 ballots and Roberts on 5. That's still close but it is an edge for Blackwell. Roberts made it look closer because he had a couple of very high placements (2nd and 3rd) but if we asked for a runoff, Blackwell would come out ahead based on the number of ballots. So I'd call it for Blackwell by a nose.
When I saw Brock's comments I immediately thought of Sparky Anderson, Darrell Evans, 3rd base, & the 1987 ALCS
DL, I missed 1950 but will try and submit one for 1951
Mays debuts next year. He should pick up a couple in the 1950s
My best pitcher w/out a vote: Art Houtteman (16th)
