My guess is that ROY is lower, but not substantially so. thats an interesting question... i'll get to work on that and edit this post when i have answers. -MVP- (since 1911 there have been winners, baseball reference lists no NL winner for 1923, 1924 and no AL winner for 1929, there was a tie in the NL in 1979 giving us 188 winners total) -CY YOUNG- (has existed since 1956, split into 2 awards in 1967, 1969 AL was a tie giving us 90 winners total) -ROY- (has existed since 1947, two awards since 1949, 2 ties gives us 118 total winners) edit- still working edit2- yeah i doubt this is getting done tonight or that anyone cares enough for me to finish it. suffice to say winning hte Rolaids relief award has meant nothing in making the HOF so far, winning the MVP has given you a better chance than winning the CY Young, and both those awards have higher chances than a mere ROY.
