The winning pitcher, while, the Cy Young and MVP

"It is very easy to fall in love ... It is hard to stay in love" ... The Pimpi . Mail Today is Day, as every Friday. Danny J. Rodriguez, Caracas, question ... "Has anyone ever won the Cy Young and MVP title the same year? ... And eliminate the designated hitter in the American League as it did with the League of Caribbean and Mexico. " Dano Friend ...: In nine opportunities have received such honors double ...: 1956 Don Newcombe, 1963 Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson and Dennis 1968 MacLain, 1971 Vida Blue, Rollie Fingers 1981, 1984 Willie Hernandez , 1986 Roger Clemens, Dennis Eckersley 1992 ... As the designee, if removed in the AL, disappear from the Rules. Erased the 6.10. Not be used in any league affiliated with Major League Baseball. Carlos Saenz L. Merida, Yucatan, question ...

"Do you have any meaning, or is fashion, necklaces used by some professional baseball players?" Chalo ... Friend: More than fashion is superstition. But hey, everyone gives them the sense that you like. Luis Carrasquero, Maracaibo, says ...: "The issue of designated hitter attention because I do not understand how people who claim to love the game, they are accomplices to stunt. He can hit when he is old, but that is not the essence of the game. You want to see run, enjoy plays like those of Elvis Andrus in the World Series. " Wilfredo Rodriguez, Caracas, question ... "Why pitchers have to be ninth in the batting order? " Friend Will ...: No "must". Because they are preparing them takes much time and effort, they can not physically train enough hitters. Now, Babe Ruth started as a pitcher, and was ninth at bat, but third, fourth or sixth, and Victor Davalillo, who also started throwing, nor was ninth in the lineup. And like Ruth, made ​​him outfielder. Moreover, manager Tony La Russa (Cardinals), generally used as the eighth pitcher bat. Aldo Leal M. Icesave, question ...

"Why no lefties catchers and infielders?". .. Al Friend: There have been and there are many left handed infielders, who play at first base. And there have been the other infield positions, both in baseball and in different categories. Also the left-handed catchers in major league history in the dozens. However, it is unusual for a technical reason. The second base, third base and shortstop, made ​​most of his throws to first base, especially after picking up ground balls or completing doubleplays, and logically, the rights that have an easier operation. Something similar happens with the recipients rights, because most batters are right, and with them at home can be released more easily, both first and to second.
