1. Mr Dashwood Posted: January 27, 2012 at 08:45 PM (#4047874)Should 12 be our minimum vote tally going forward?
Surprised someone didn't have McLain in top 10. Even forgetting Ws, 336 IP, 28 CG, and an ERA+ over 150 is a heck of a season even in that era.
Freehan got one snub as well. huh.
I see that Freehan was 11th on one and McLain was 15th on another. Interesting.
I'm curious about what 1969 will bring...
Can I get a hint on how to line up the columns properly so I can fix the other thread?

1962: Willie Mays, CF, San Francisco Giants (100%)
1963: Sandy Koufax, P, Los Angeles Dodgers (58.8%)

I can't see McLain not making the top-ten myself, but I'm not as gaga over the inning pitched and CG as others here once they are placed into context. Still a great season any way you slice it, though.
Yeah, I'm not criticizing either 'absence.'
By "surprised," I don't mean "outraged," by any means - especially since each clearly was given a fair look by each voter.
