On which basis? Cy Young is not an ERA title.

Yeah, I saw that logic used years ago to throw away the Cy Young at some spare San Diego reliever in a year in which Nolan Ryan led the league in ERA and strikouts at age 40 but got zilch run support and thus had a so-so record. Was so bad he lost a 1-hit game and a 3-hit game (or was the latter a 2-hitter that year?) In fact there were several years where the idiot writers would hold lack of run support and win record against Ryan. Completely ludicrous that one of the 10 greatest pitchers of all time never was awarded a single Cy Young, despite earning one several times.

If the voting were logical, Pujols would already have two MVP's.
