2012 Major League Cy Young Award

The voting was unanimous, with Pedro Lewis winning for the 3rd time in the last 4 years, and his 4th Cy Young overall (2005 SL, 2009 ML, 2010 ML, 2012 ML).  Lewis posted a career best 2.30 ERA, finishing 2nd in the league to teammate Buddy Dervish (who demonstrated an amazing ability to give up the big inning once the runs would become unearned due to errors).  Lewis also had a career best winning percentage, going 22-3, matching his career high for wins.  Lewis also led the league in innings with 234 and strikeouts with 235.  Lewis has now had 4 seasons with 20+ wins, all resulting in Cy Young awards.  Remarkably, the top 4 vote getter's for Cy Young were the #1-4 starters for the New York Cobra.  I'm assuming this may be the first time this has ever happened, save for perhaps the 1971 Baltimore Orioles?

Complete Voting Results as follows:
1.  Pedro Lewis             35
2.  Buddy Dervish          12
3.  Johnny DeMario         6
4.  Roscoe Savage           4
5.  Geronimo Davis         3
6.  Bartolo Fatone          2
7.  Jared DeMario           1
