Justin Verlander finishes second in AL Cy Young. Was only four points behind David Price. JV got 13 first place votes.

AL Cy Young goes to: David Price in tightest balloting since 1969. Verlander second, just four points behind.

AL Cy Young winner is David Price. He had 14 first-place votes, Justin Verlander had 13. Second-closest vote ever.

David Price Squeaks By Justin Verlander in One of the Tightest Cy Young Votes Ever.

November 15 in Tigers and mlb history:

1945 - The rules are revised for election of modern players to the Hall of Fame. A runoff election is formulated as a way to qualify more players for selection, but it fails to meet its objective as no one reaches the 75 percent requirement in the runoff.

1967 - Future Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox is the overwhelming selection as American League MVP. He receives all but one first place vote in the balloting, the other vote going to Minnesota's Cesar Tovar. Yastrzemski, who led the AL in batting average (.327), home runs (44) and RBI (121), will be the last major leaguer to win the Triple Crown in the 20th Century.

2005: After months of deadlock, leaders of Major League Baseball and the players union reach an agreement to clean up a performance-enhancing drug scandal that has tarnished the nation's pastime and left lawmakers worried about young athletes imitating the wrong role models. It will require baseball players to submit to several drug tests each year, during and between seasons, and will impose lengthy suspensions for steroid and amphetamine use. Repeat offenders can be banned for life. The agreement, which must be ratified by both the players and baseball owners, is similar to a proposal offered earlier this year by commissioner Bud Selig.

2011: Detroit's Justin Verlander is the unanimous winner of the 2011 American League Cy Young Award. Verlander won the Pitching Triple Crown by leading the AL in wins with a 24-5 record, in ERA at 2.40 and in strikeouts with 250. He also threw his second career no-hitter on May 7th.

Cabrera better 'late' than ever.
from espn stats and info

the 2012 season was no fluke for Cabrera as he leads the American League in all three Triple Crown categories since the beginning of the 2009 season (.331 BA, 146 HR, 473 RBI).

2012 also marked the second-consecutive season in which Cabrera led the American League in batting average, making him the first Tiger to do so in back-to-back seasons since Ty Cobb did it three straight years from 1917 to 1919.

Cabrera hit an AL-high .337 in the seventh inning or later this season with more home runs (17), RBI (43), and runs (38) than any other player in baseball. His 26 extra-base hits were tied for most in MLB and his .411 on-base percentage ranked third in the American League.
