[dx_custom_adunit desktop_id=”RTK_K67O” mobile_id=”RTK_5yk0″]
Thanks to voters’ obsession with pitchers’ records, McCormick took the ’67 award over a handful of more deserving candidates. Dick Hughes led the majors in WHIP and had a better ERA. Phil Niekro led the majors in ERA and, like Hughes, didn’t even get a vote. And Jim Bunning, who should have won it, led the majors with 302.1 innings pitched, posting a 2.29 ERA, second-best in the NL.
