American League Cy Young Award

Carl Hubbell of the Gold Country Gossamers wins the AL Cy Young Award.  With 17 wins and a 2.80 ERA, Hubbell beat Carnies teammates Curt Schilling and Danny Haren who came in 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Hubbell received 8 of 15 possible first place votes, but was oddly left off 4 ballots completely.  Perhaps more surprisingly, Danny Haren who led the league in ERA, WHIP, RCERA, and CERA receive 5 first place votes but no others, having been left off of 10 ballots in all.  This allowed Curt Schilling with just two first place votes, to sneak into second.

Tex Hughson finished fourth giving the ALCS contenders a clean sweep of the first four places.
