Well done!

Follow-up question: who is the only other player to win a Cy young, Silver Slugger and Gold Glove?
I only knew because I've been a very casual Fernando collector. I did a few posts on him back when I was actively blogging. My F-I-L, who knew almost nothing about sports and would only occasionally watch some Mexican National Team soccer, got caught up in Fernandomania. We took him to the Astrodome to watch Fernando pitch and that was the only sports event I believe he ever attended.
