Last week, Major League Baseball gave out its major awards—Rookie of the Year, the Cy Young Award, and Most Valuable Player. To nobody’s surprise, the St. Louis Cardinals were shut out—two Cardinals, Paul DeJong (a distant second to Cody Bellinger for Rookie of the Year) and Tommy Pham (11th for MVP), put up admirable fights, but it takes defiantly Cardinal-tinted glasses to see these awards as robberies of Cardinals players.
But the Cardinals have had some players throughout their history who were denied awards they arguably deserved. Is this a sign of voter bias against the Cardinals?
