    He joins Don Newcombe as the only players to win those two awards plus Rookie of the Year. The article below provides some interesting baseball history. By the way, Jacoby Ellsbury was 2nd and Jose Bautista was 3rd.

    Don Newcombe...man I haven't thought about him in a long time..he was one of the Dodger hero's of my youth..the list was long for that Dodger team...so many great players that were worthy of being hero's.

    Newcombe still works with the Dodgers and helps MLB with all alcohol related problems.

    re: Verlander

    I love watching that guy pitch so much that it's almost enough to make an American league fan out of me. He's talented, intelligent and evil. That's a hatful of tricks for a guy who throws 98-mph...
