Internet Baseball Writers, that is, and man, are we a savvy bunch. Except for the one guy who voted for Schilling for Pitcher of the Year. Look at the winners, and the vote breakdowns at all-baseball.com.
Oh, and Batgirl was one of the two writers who didn't give Barry a first place vote. Why? Because she didn't want to, that's why. She likes her players additive-free.
Batgirl's ballot is lost to time, but here's what she recalls:
NL Player of the Year:
Beltre, Bonds, Pujols, Rolen, Edmonds, then it all gets blurry
AL Player of the Year:
Santana, Vlad, Manny, Ortiz, Sheff, then some combo of Ichiro (who in retrospect should have been in the top 3) Tejada, I-rod, Mariano, Count Chocula, Mora, and maybe one of the Texas Big 3, which adds up to 11, but you know, maybe it went up to 11.
NL Pitcher of the Year: Seagull Dove-Killer, Some Pudgy Old Guy, Oliver Perez
AL Pitcher of the Year: Um, hi!
NL Debut of the Year: Greene, Bay, Somebody Else
AL Debut of the Year: Crosby, Greinke, Somebody Else
NL Manager of the Year: LaRussa, Cox, Tracy
AL Manager of the Year: Gardy, Buck, Trammell
NL Exec of the Year: Jocketty, I Can't Quite Recall Senator, I Can't Quite Recall Senator
AL Exec of the Year: TR, Theo E., Some Other Dude
Truly, the powers of Batgirl's recollection are staggering! Stay with her as she tries to recall where she parked her car!
