St. Louis Cardinals have won the Cy Young award three times in franchise history — twice by Bob Gibson and once by Chris Carpenter.
The Cy Young award, named after the Hall of Fame pitcher who won more than 500 games in the majors, has been given out every year since 1956. Prior to 1967, though, the award was given to only one pitcher, rather than to one in both leagues.
Don Newcombe of the Brooklyn Dodgers was the first pitcher to win the award; Roger Clemens' seven wins are the most all-time.
The award is one of four voted on each year by members of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
