Season Awards
"Big Ed" Delahanty has won his 5th BoY, and teammate
Bill Vinton has won his 3rd PoY! Vinton has won the PoY every other year now for five seasons, winning in odd years only... interesting. Delahanty also won his first Gold Glove in his first season in left field. He had made it clear to the team over the past few seasons that he very much preferred to play in left. Clearly, it was the right move.
The RoY vote was tight, with several hitters making the vote a tight one. St. Louis'
Charlie Frank narrowly beat the Phillies
Tuck Turner (.313, 34 2B, 14 HR, 91 RBI), Chicago's
Tom Parrott (.292, 27 HR, 101 RBI) and L.A.'s
Bill Lange (.314, 87 R, 42 SB).
To look at Pirates' closer
Will Sawyer's career numbers, it is surprising that he has never won a Fireman's Award before this season. He finished second in the voting several times before.
