It is a two-man – one-team – race.
Only three times in the history of the Cy Young Award (first given to Brooklyn’s Don Newcombe in 1956) have teammates finished 1-2 in the voting. Curt Schilling finished a distant second to Arizona Diamondbacks teammate Randy Johnson in 2001 and 2002 when Johnson received 62 of the combined 64 first-place votes (Schillling received two first-place votes in 2001). And in 1974, Dodgers pitchers Mike Marshall and Andy Messersmith finished atop the National League Cy Young Award voting, Marshall getting 17 first-place votes and Messersmith five.
