Hershiser sweeps
Cy Young voting
NEW YORK (AP) — Orel Hershiser,
baseball’s most dominant pitcher ever
for the season’s final two months, won
the National League Cy Young Award
unanimously Thursday, adding another
honor to one of the most amazing years
in history.
Hershiser’s record streak of 59
scoreless innings ended the regular sea
son and swept him past all rivals. He
wound up 23-8 with a 2.26 eamed-run
average for the World Series champion
Los Angeles Dodgers.
This was the first time since 1970 that
only three pitchers received votes.
The pitching-rich Dodgers have won
the Cy Young more than any other team,
eight times since it was first awarded in
1956.
Hershiser, a 30-year-old right-hander,
had been one of the best and most consis
tent pitchers in the major leagues for his
first four full seasons.
Hershiser was Most Valuable Player
of the World Series and of the National
League playoffs. Voting for the Cy
Young was conducted before the post
season began.
Hershiser got all 24 first-place votes
and 120 points in balloting by two mem
bers of the Baseball Writers’ Association
of America in each league city. Cincin
nati’s Danny Jackson, who had an identi
cal record to Hershiser, was second with
15 second-place votes and 54 points. Da
vid Cone, 20-3 for the New York Mets,
was third with nine second-place votes
and 42 points.
“I think my life will be classified in
two sections now — before 1988 and af
ter 1988,” he said after becoming a
World Series hero.
Hershiser led the league with eight
shutouts and 267 innings. His ERA
ranked third, he was seventh with 178
strikeouts and opponents batted just .213
against him. Hershiser allowed two or
fewer earned runs in 23 of 34 starts and
his 23 victories were the most for the
Dodgers since Sandy Koufax won 27 in
1966.
Jackson’s 2.73 ERA ranked 10th.
Cone, who did not join the Mets’ rota
tion until May, was second with a 2.22
ERA and second with 213 strikeouts.

In the sc
Hershiser is the 12th unanimous Cy
Young winner, the first since Roger
Clemens of Boston and Dwight Gooden
of the New York Mets in 1985. Minne
sota’s Frank Viola, named Wednesday to
win the AL Cy Young, was one vote
short of unanimous.
Hershiser began the season with six
straight victories and was 13-3 at the
break. His success put him on the All-
Star team for the second straight season.
But Hershiser, who sings hymns be
tween innings to relax, was locked in a
tight race for the Cy Young until his in
credible string started on Aug. 30. At
that point, he was 17-8, Jackson 18-6.
Oilers’ Byrd working
to replace idle Smith
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Oiler
nose tackle Richard Byrd hopes he’s
equal to the task of filling in for sus
pended starter Doug Smith.
“You have to eat your Wheaties,”
Byrd said. ‘‘You get hit from the two
guards, the center and sometimes a
tackle pulling or a back coming at you. ”
Smith was suspended 30 days by the
NFL on Wednesday for violating the
league’s substance abuse policy.
That will put Byrd into the starting
lineup for Sunday’s game against the
Seattle Seahawks.
Byrd, who has been Smith’s backup
this season, says his biggest worry is be
ing able to play an entire game at the po
sition.
‘Tve been practicing the whole year
but that’s nothing like getting in game
shape,” Byrd said. “You never know
what kind of game shape you’re in until
you get out there. That’s my main worry
right now.”
Byrd was drafted by the Oilers as a
nose tackle three years ago but he be
came a starting defensive end.

When the Oilers acquired end Sean
Jones from the Los Angeles Raiders in
the off-season, Byrd went to nose tackle
behind Smith.
Smith has had his best season as a pro
and has been a key part of the Oiler de
fense that has played two outstanding
games in victories over Washington and
Cleveland.
“Doug’s had a great year so I haven’t
had a chance to get much playing time,”
Byrd said. “I’m just going to get in there
and try to fill his shoes the best way I
can.”
