Cliff Lee Wins NL Cy Young Award


Cleveland Indians pitcher Cliff Lee has won the NL Cy Young award for best pitcher. This comes one year after he spent the majority of last season in the minors. Talk about coming out of nowhere. He is the second consecutive Indians pitcher to win the same award as former Indian C.C. Sabathia won it last season. He went 22-3 this season, which was tops in the majors, and was given 24 of the 28 first place votes. Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay came in second and record setting closer Francisco Rodrigues came in third. You can read this article at http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3700686.
