Cy Young Award
Auszeichnung für den besten Pitcher der American League und der National League
Der Cy Young Award ist eine jährlich an die besten Pitcher der Major Leagues vergebene Ehrung. Eingeführt wurde sie 1956 um den im Jahr zuvor verstorbenen Hall-of-Fame-Pitcher Cy Young zu ehren. Zuerst wurde die Auszeichnung nur an den besten Pitcher der gesamten Major Leagues vergeben, seit 1967 werden die Besten der National League und der American League separat geehrt. Wer die Auszeichnung erhält wird von den 28 Mitgliedern der Baseball Writers Association of America per Abstimmung bestimmt.
