Before there was a Cy Young Award, there was the Pitcher
of the Year award, established by The Sporting News in 1944,
though no awards were given in 1946 or 1947. The award is
given annually to the pitcher in each league judged by Sporting
News baseball experts as having had the most outstanding season
