Article:Remind me why we have 2 Cy Young Awards.

We all know why, but alas that subject is a forbidden topic around the officials of MLB. It started with only one and personally I think that it should go back to one Cy Young award winner in MLB. The day of the pitcher that continually pitches 260-300 innings and starts 35 or more regular season games is done, finished and out of the question with the era of the middle-short and closer doing the job. I have often found it interesting that the pitchers of past eras even before the 60's & 70's pitched very large amount of innings and started 40 plus games year after year and they made it work. Today's pitchers have it made in the shade, with airplanes, 5star hotels, expensive clothes, better diets and generally extremely better playing conditions. The fields, lights, grass and training are far superior to what they had even 40 years ago and then go back another 40 to the 20's and you will really see a difference. Maybe I am a little crazy on this subject but over the last 89 years I have seen every Cy Young award winner either in person or on the television and with a few exceptions none of them today can hold a candle to most of the first winners. When one pitcher starts throwing 300 innings, 280 K's and starts over 35 regular season games then maybe I can see a reason to have two CY Young winners but I am sorry it isn't my age that is a problem here but the lack of pitchers that come up to the stats of the past one award winner. You going to tell me that this years' NL is as good as Sandy Koufax, Warren Spahn, Bob Gibson, Don Drysdale, and many others starting with Joe Black of the then Brooklyn Dodgers. If the league wants to really bring back some interest in baseball besides all the money and crap that goes on they should start maybe doing things the way it was done before all the media crap and everyone only interested in himself and not the team.
