Good point! Wasn't the original concept of the Cy Young award to give the
pitcher a separate honor so that the everyday player would get MVP(at least
in most cases). I'm not taking anything away from Dr. K (and I'm not a Met
fan either), but I think there are many other everyday players that deserve
a shot at being MVP (Keith Hernandez, just to name one). Dwight is an
excellent young pitcher with a great future, barring injury, and although
I don't root for the Mets like I do the Yankees, I would hate to see this
gentleman not continue to pitch with such finesse and power! It is enter-
taining to me as an avid baseball fan to watch Dr. K work on the mound.
I hope to see him pitch in a World Series and see how he handles bigger
pressure. Good-en luck Mets!
