The voters were confused over which group Young belonged in and split his vote resulting in him being short in both. Between having the pitching award named for him and his high WAR, I don't see that changing. Wojo is a close 2nd with Matty 3rd.
I was unaware of this as well. Thanks for the info. Keep it coming I’m interested in the varying opinions.
