More on Cy Young Award
Description from Wikipedia:
In baseball, the Cy Young Award is an honor given annually to the best pitcher in Major League Baseball (one each for American and National leagues). The award was first introduced in 1956 by Commissioner Ford Frick in honor of Hall of Fame pitcher Cy Young, who died in 1955. The award was originally given to the single best pitcher in the major leagues. In 1967, the year after Frick retired as Commissioner, the practice began of honoring one pitcher in each league.
Each league's award is voted on by two members of the Baseball Writers Association of America in each league city, which means 28 ballots are cast for the American League winner, and 32 ballots are cast for the National League. Each voter places a vote for first, second, and third place among the pitchers of each league. The formula used to calculate the final scores is a weighted sum of the votes: Score = 5F + 3S + T, where F is the number of first place votes, S is second place votes, and T is third place votes. The pitcher with the highest score in each league wins the award. If two pitchers receive the same number of votes, the award is shared. The current formula started with the 1970 season. Prior to that, writers only voted for the best pitcher and used a formula of one point per vote.
