1. DL from MN Posted: April 11, 2013 at 08:50 PM (#4411272)Schmidt has been named the NL MMP 4 times but he's only won the overall MMP once out of those 4. He finished 2nd to Rod Carew in 1977 and to George Brett in 1980. He also finished 4th in 1979 behind Fred Lynn and a couple of other American Leaguers. Schmidt's other runner-up finish in the overall race came behind fellow National Leaguer Joe Morgan. However, as Delorians noted, Schmidt has a pretty good shot at finishing on top in 1981.
Steve Carlton is another repeat winner, having picked up the pitching MMP before in 1972. He joins Koufax, Gibson and Seaver with multiple awards.
Mike Norris is the second member of the Oakland A's to win the AL pitching MMP, following Vida Blue in 1971.
And finally, this marks the third time in the last four elections that multiple relievers have received votes. Bruce Sutter and Goose Gossage picked up votes in '77 while Jim Kern and Sutter did it in 1979. Doug Corbett and Dan Quisenberry were the two relievers named this year.
the above tally is off -- i think it shows 14 7th place votes and only 8 8th place votes
Re: tally
Rickey has 3 8th and 0 7th. I think that's the only error.
