I remember Hawk winning in '87, but MVP voting is different that Cy Young. Votes in the past for the Cy Young usually go towards a pitcher on a winning team, even if another player on a losing team has had a better season.

Speaking of voting, I saw on EPSN last night that when MLB players were asked on a ballot who is the most over-rated player in all of Baseball, the choice was shocking:

Derrick Jeter

That surprises me, because I consider Pay-Rod, I mean A-Rod, as over-rated...And that is my opinion even though I am a Yanks fan!
