One MVP/Manager left. I forgot the 5th one myself so I checked the paper I had them written down on and I can't believe what I just saw.

Braves had a couple that were top 10 if not top 5 all time

Matthews kind of got lost in the shuffle in the 50’s/60’s…..great player….Brett was one of only 4 players to get 3,000 hits, hit 300 homers and have a 300 lifetime avg…..tough to compare era’s though…..

Today 2 lefties won Cy Youngs (Sale and Skubal)

That has only happened twice before, both league Cys being lefties

What years, which pitchers?

I know Steve Carlton won the award a few times in the NL so I'll go with Carlton/Willie Hernandez, Carlton/Vida Blue, Carlton/Wilbur Wood.

Also I'm pretty sure Fernando Valenzuela won the strike year of 1981 but I can't think of the random lefty that might have won it that year in the AL.

Carlton is correct but none of those others won it the same year

Yeah I'm not sure Cliff Lee won one either. I'm just trying to think of lefties who might have won.

I'd give it a little more time. Someone might come thru with the answer.

I know Carlton won more but I'm assuming none of them qualify as "recently".

Oh wait, is the Big Unit recent enough? He had to have won a Cy Young but I'm not sure which league. Can't think of who to pair him with yet though
