Yesterday Justin Verlander was named cy young winner and the al mvp. It is the first time in a long time that a pitcher had won the cy young and the mvp award. The last pitcher to win both awards was Dennis Eckersly. Since then there have been no other pitchers. It was a close fight, but Verlander beat Ellsbury out in the end for mvp.
This is a big deal because it is very tough as a pitcher to win the mvp award. To do so, you need to literally carry your team into the playoffs with a low era and over 20 wins. That is very difficult and he will go down as one of the best pitchers in history.
Do you think you can do it again?
Justin Verlander is the best
