This is my opinion on sports. I will mostly be giving my opinion on New York sports. My intention with this sports blog is just to give my opinion and maybe throw around some questions if not answering them. If any opportunities come along from doing this, I'd relish them because I have a passion for sports.

MLB awards
Postseason awards in baseball are stats, they go on your record and on your baseball card for us all to memorize. Winning a postseason award (such as an MVP, Cy Young, Manager of the Year, or Rookie of the Year) is an accomplishment, You were the the best in a respective category through 162 games. This year the most dominant player, also happened to be the best pitcher which allowed Justin Verlander to win both the Cy Young and MVP awards. I am of the belief that you should only be allowed to win one award. Since both the Cy Young and the MVP are for the best player, pitchers who are eligible for the Cy Young shouldn't be able to win both. It's not a pitchers fault he's best utilized on the mound and it's not a position players fault he's not a pitcher. I feel that since these are very similar awards that the MVP should be the award for position players, and the Cy Young should be for pitchers. Justin Verlander was the best pitcher this year (24-5: 2.40 ERA) and he should have won the Cy Young, the MVP should have been between Granderson and Ellisbury.
