1967 NL Awards

 The NL Awards were announced today. Houston's Jimmy Wynn won the NL MVP Award. Wynn had a spectacular season for the Astro's, leading the league in Homeruns (55) and RBI (144) while hitting .276. He edged out the Chicago Cubs Ron Santo (33 HR, 133 RBI, .310 BA). Chicago's Ferguson Jenkins (21-14, 3.21 ERA, 229 K's) won the NL Cy Young Award.  He narrowly edged Philadelphia's Larry Jackson (23-10, 2.59 ERA, 158 K's). I personally would have given it to Jackson. 

  San Francisco Giants' Herman Franks was named NL Manager of the Year. Pittsburgh Pirate's Roy Face was the Rolaid's Fireman Relief Pitcher of the Year.
