Total Baseball: The Highlights of the Game
Awards and Honors: Part 1
Bill Deane
This chapter presents the history and voting results of baseball's most
prestigious awards and honors, including the complete balloting and current
constituency of the Baseball Hall of Fame. This material will be of interest
to the fan who wonders how a player of the past was viewed by his
contemporaries. I have ventured an additional section of "what if" awards:
what if the Cy Young Award had been instituted long before its actual
inception in 1956, or the Rookie of the Year before its real debut in 1947,
and so on. What follows is divided into six sections:
MVP Award: history and balloting.
Rookie of the Year Award: history and balloting.
Cy Young Award: history and balloting.
Hypothetical Awards: explanation and selections.
Gold Glove Award: history, discussion, and list of winners.
Hall of Fame: history of elections and balloting.
Balloting tables and lists of winners include each player's first
initial, last name, and club city abbreviation (and point total, if
applicable).
Most Valuable Player Award: History
The concept of most valuable player awards dates back more than a century.
The first documented MVP-type honor in pro ball was bestowed upon James
"Deacon" White of the 1875 Boston Red Stockings in the National Association.
Catcher White sparked Boston to a remarkable 71-8 record that year, scoring 77
runs in 80 games and batting .355. An ardent Red Stockings' admirer presented
Deacon with a silver tray, water pitcher, and loving cup inscribed with the
words: WON BY JIM WHITE AS MOST VALUABLE PLAYER TO BOSTON TEAM, 1875.
The first official MVP honor was initiated some thirty-five years later.
Prior to the 1910 season, baseball fan Hugh Chalmers, president and general
manager of the Chalmers Motor Company, announced that he would present one of
his company's automobiles--a Chalmers "30"--to the major league player who
compiled the highest batting average. What appeared to be a harmless
promotional gimmick was to soon turn into a public relations disaster.
The rules specified that players must accumulate a specific minimum
number of times at bat, depending on position, to qualify for the award. For
infielders and outfielders, it was a minimum of 350 at-bats; for catchers, 250
at-bats; and for pitchers, 100 at-bats. Interest in the award was tremendous
from the outset. Ty Cobb, who already owned a Chalmers "30" roadster, wrote:
"I am glad that something besides medals and trophies is offered for the
championship in batting. I think the offer of a Chalmers "30" is simply great
and I hope to be lucky enough to own a new Chalmers next fall."
It developed into a two-man race, with Detroit's Cobb and Cleveland's
Napoleon Lajoie, both American Leaguers, the only serious challengers for the
coveted prize. Throughout the season there were charges and countercharges of
favoritism by scorers in various cities. Furthermore, the general consensus
of the press was that Cobb's selfish pursuit of this individual honor had cost
his team the pennant. The controversy was capped by scandalous circumstances
on the final day of the season.
Through games of September 16, Cobb held a solid lead over Lajoie, .368
to .357 (although, because of the era's sloppy record keeping, few actually
knew the official figures at the time). From then through October 8, Cobb
batted a torrid .532 (25 for 47) to seemingly lock up the crown with a .383
average. But Lajoie refused to surrender, going 30 for 54 (.556) in that same
span to enter the final day, October 9, with a .376 mark. Cobb chose to sit
out his final game, while Lajoie played the infamous doubleheader with the St.
Louis Browns in which he went 8 for 8, including seven bunt hits--remarkable
for a slow-footed slugger--to apparently edge out Cobb in the batting race.
Browns' manager Jack O'Connor had instructed his rookie third baseman, Red
Corriden, to play deep on Lajoie, advice with which Corriden complied. Lajoie
took advantage of the strange defensive arrangement with the repeated safe
bunts. Although neither Lajoie nor Corriden were implicated, there were
charges of a Browns' frame-up to give the coveted batting title (and car) to
the respected Lajoie over the disliked Cobb.
O'Connor lost his job due to his role in the alleged fix. Subsequently,
AL President Ban Johnson announced that a "discrepancy" had been found in the
official records, and that Cobb had actually won the batting crown after all
(although this point is challenged by many current researchers, who have
evidence that Cobb was credited wrongly for a 2 for 4 game). Meanwhile, Hugh
Chalmers, attempting to divorce himself from the controversy, presented autos
to both Cobb and Lajoie. It was generally acknowledged that this fiasco
doomed the future of individual awards of any kind.
Hoping to salvage some goodwill out of the whole idea, Chalmers came up
with a new proposal for the 1911 season. This time he would award an auto to
one player in each league who "should prove himself as the most important and
useful player to his club and to the league at large in point of deportment
and value of services rendered." The decision for this honor was to be made
by a committee of baseball writers, one writer from each club city in each
league. Each writer was to make eight selections, with a first-place ballot
scoring eight points, on down to an eighth-place vote counting one point.
Thus was born the short-lived Chalmers Award, with Ty Cobb and Frank Schulte
earning recognition in 1911. Both Cobb and Schulte voluntarily withdrew from
the competition in 1912, although the former received seventeen points anyway.
Interest in the award diminished within a few years. By 1914 the public
was distracted by baseball's battles with the new Federal League and the
escalation of the World War in Europe. The timing was right for the Chalmers
Award to quietly disappear; it was noted that Mr. Chalmers had agreed to
present vehicles for five years and that the 1914 awards marked the fifth
presentations.
On July 15, 1922, the newly formed American League Trophy Committee
adopted a set of rules governing the selection of an annual award-winner. The
rules specified that "the purpose of the American League Trophy is to honor
the baseball player who is of greatest all-round service to his club and
credit to the sport during each season; to recognize and reward uncommon skill
and ability when exercised by a player for the best interests of his team, and
to perpetuate his memory." The rules further instructed voters to seek out
the "winning ball player," reminding them that "combined offensive and
defensive ability is not always indicated by any system of records."
Eight baseball writers, one from each AL city, were enfranchised, with
each required to select exactly one player from each team, for a total of
eight selections. Player-managers and previous winners were to be excluded
from consideration. Points were distributed the same as in the Chalmers
Award: eight for first place, down to one for eighth.
The intention of AL President Ban Johnson was to have a monument to
baseball erected in East Potomac Park, Washington, D.C., engraved with the
names of winners of the AL Award. This proposal was introduced as a
congressional resolution in 1924, and passed in the House of Representatives
before dying on the Senate Floor.
The AL voting rules led to growing criticism for several reasons, one of
which was the limitation on the number of vote-getters from each team. For
example, when the Browns' George Sisler won the first AL Award in 1922, he was
named on all eight ballots--thus disqualifying his teammates from receiving
any votes. As a result, fellow Brownie Ken Williams, who led the league in
home runs (39), RBIs (155), and total bases (367) and became the first player
ever to have 30 homers and 30 stolen bases in the same season, was shut out in
the League Award voting.
Secondly, the rule prohibiting player-managers from eligibility drew
fire. In 1925, when this rule eliminated five solid candidates from
consideration, The New York Times wrote, "to say that it is impossible or
impractical to divorce a man's managerial skill from his talents purely as a
player is to reflect on the intelligence of the committee that awards the
prize."
The Times further editorialized on the fallacy of assuming that no player
can be the "most valuable" more than one year: "the purpose, of course, is
to pass the honor around, but the effect is to pass an empty honor around."
This rule became increasingly ridiculous when it eliminated Babe Ruth (and his
60 home runs) from consideration in 1927; by the following year, both Ruth and
teammate Lou Gehrig, who were in the process of finishing one-two in the AL
home run derby in five consecutive seasons, were ineligible for the League
Award.
In 1924 the National League instituted its own award, with radical
differences in the selection method: each writer voted for ten players rather
than eight (ten points for first place, and so on); he was not bound to vote
for a certain number of players from each team; he was free to select a
player-manager; and, later, he was allowed to consider previous winners of the
award. Additionally, the NL offered a cash "present" of $1,000 to the
award-winner.
At various times between 1925-51, writers were permitted to name
"honorable mention" candidates, whose vote totals were listed but not counted
in the balloting. Another feature of early voting reports was the listing of
"cumulative vote leaders"--a forerunner to Bill James' "award shares"--over a
period of years.
A number of factors led to the demise of the AL Award, including the
award's loss of credibility due to the previously mentioned shortsighted
voting rules. Secondly, Ban Johnson, having failed to secure the erection of
his proposed monument, felt the award had fallen short of its aim. Finally,
management was concerned with the efforts of award-winners to parlay their
honors into substantial pay raises. The AL Award was officially voted out at
a special league meeting on May 6, 1929.
The National League followed suit with the AL's decision, but agreed to
continue its award through the 1929 season.
In October 1929, the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA)
announced the results of an "unofficial" AL most valuable player poll, whose
winner was Lew Fonseca of Cleveland. Two months later, The Sporting News
(TSN) conducted a poll of the eight writers who had previously voted on the
League Award, thereby reporting Al Simmons as the "unofficial" AL
Award-winner. Combining the results of these two unofficial polls gives
Fonseca 77 points, followed by Heinie Manush (57), Simmons (56), Tony Lazzeri
(55) and Charlie Gehringer (44).
The Sporting News announced that, thereafter, they would take it upon
themselves to conduct an annual poll to substitute for the defunct league
awards. However, they retained the stipulation that each voter must select
just one player on each team. In 1930, TSN chose Joe Cronin in the AL and
Bill Terry in the NL. Earlier, the Associated Press also had a special
committee of writers make an unofficial AL selection for 1930, while the BBWAA
did the same for the NL (adding a check for $1,000 for the winner). The
respective selections here were Cronin in the AL and Hack Wilson in the NL.
Again combining the two sets of polls, the AL leaders were Cronin (100), Al
Simmons (85), Lou Gehrig (68), Charlie Gehringer (67), and Ted Lyons (56).
The NL pace-setters were Hack Wilson (111), Frankie Frisch (107), Bill Terry
(105), Chuck Klein (57), and Floyd "Babe" Herman (52).
In an effort to standardize MVP voting, the BBWAA, in its annual winter
meeting in New York on December 11, 1930, decided to appoint two committees
(one in each league) to elect most valuable players, with the association to
"award suitable emblems to the players selected." Thus was born what is
considered the modern MVP Award, with most of the flaws of its forerunners
eliminated.
TSN, however, continued to make its own selections in bitter competition
with the BBWAA. Finally, beginning in 1938, TSN agreed to unify the award by
abiding with BBWAA balloting, and presenting The Sporting News Trophy to the
winner. Among the various prizes awarded to the winners were wristwatches and
shotguns.
At a meeting during the 1944 World Series, the BBWAA decided to begin
issuing its own trophy, the Kenesaw Mountain Landis Award, in honor of the
ailing commissioner. Landis died a month later and the official MVP Award has
born his name ever since. A plaque engraved with the names of the winners
hangs in the National Baseball Library in Cooperstown, New York.
The Sporting News went back to naming its own MVPs in 1944 and '45. Then,
at the request of the new commissioner, Happy Chandler, TSN "withdrew from the
field to cooperate in making the Landis Awards, provided by the major leagues,
the official designations of the year." In 1948, however, TSN went back to
its own awards, selecting a Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year in each
league, as they have done ever since. For some reason, TSN awards have never
received the public recognition that the BBWAA honors have.
Two major changes in the MVP voting began in 1938. The BBWAA began
polling three writers in each major league city, rather than just one, which
remained in effect until it was reduced to two writers per city, starting in
1961. Also in 1938, the process was initiated to award fourteen points for
each first-place vote, rather than ten.
"Split votes," which have since infiltrated all the major awards, first
appeared in MVP Awards in 1959. The American League MVP race that year, by
consensus, was between second baseman Nellie Fox and shortstop Luis Aparicio
of the champion Chicago White Sox. Late in the season, the suggestion often
arose that the two ought to share the award. When the votes were in, Fox had
received fourteen first-place votes, Aparicio had gotten six, and four writers
had split their votes between the two. Tickled with the idea of a split vote,
one NL writer also resorted to this option, dividing his first-place
nomination between Ernie Banks and Ed Mathews. The cop-out vote, having been
allowed in '59, has since surfaced in sixteen more MVP Awards, ten Rookie of
the Year, and six Cy Young Award elections. The ultimate folly of this
practice was best exemplified in 1979. One NL writer split his fourth-place
vote between pitching brothers Phil and Joe Niekro, evidently convinced that
the two were identical twins. But the writer was still permitted to make six
more selections. That meant that his fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-place
selections received more points (six, five and four, respectively) than his
fourth-place co-selections, who were credited with just three and a half
points apiece!
There has long been debate about the consideration of pitchers for the
MVP Award, the theory (by some) that a man who plays every fourth game cannot
be as valuable as a man who plays every day. The debate escalated after the
inception of the Cy Young Award in 1956, giving pitchers their own exclusive
honor, and the increasing practice of five-man rotations in the 1970s, giving
starting pitchers even less of a chance to contribute. As far as Jack Lang,
executive secretary of the BBWAA, is concerned, there is no room for
controversy. "The rules that are sent out to the voters on the [MVP]
committee state: 'Keep in mind that all players are eligible. That includes
pitchers, starters and relievers,'" says Lang. "Anybody on the committee
that feels they cannot vote for a pitcher, we replace them. In my twenty-four
years running the elections, only two writers have said that to me." Since
1931, pitchers have won the award ten times in the AL and nine times in the
NL.
There have been thirteen occasions in which one player received all of
the available first-place MVP votes in his league. The AL players so honored
are Ty Cobb (1911), Babe Ruth (1923), Hank Greenberg (1935), Al Rosen (1953),
Mickey Mantle (1956), Frank Robinson (1966), Denny McLain (1968), Reggie
Jackson (1973), Jose Canseco (1988), and Frank Thomas (1993). The three
unanimous NL selections are Carl Hubbell (1936), Orlando Cepeda (1967), and
Mike Schmidt (1980). Hubbell's distinction is disputable, as two of the eight
writers did not submit ballots that year and were not replaced on the
selection committee.
Following are the maximum possible point totals that could have been
earned by an individual receiving the first-place nomination of every writer
polled:
National League American League
------------------------------------
1911-14 64 1911-14 64
1924-29 80 1922-28 64
1931-37 80 1931-37 80
1938-60 336 1938-60 336
1961 224 1961-68 280
1962-68 280 1969-76 336
1969-present 336 1977-present 392
------------------------------------
There have been numerous cases in which the MVP vote point totals did
not add up to the correct figure. Reasons for this include inaccuracies in
tabulation, inaccuracies in reporting, and writers who failed to vote or to
complete their ballots. However, the total impact of all these errors is a
small fraction of 1 percent of the total voting over the years.
Following is a complete tabulation of all the recognized MVP
