Zack Greinke A.L. Cy Young 2009: The Last Shall Be First

GREAT FEEL GOOD STORY TODAY with the announcement of this year's A.L. Cy Young Award going to Zack Greinke. Considering the fact that the Kansas City Royals finished in last place again this year (though no fault of Greinke's), it's quite an accomplishment to nab the award. An instance of when the last shall be first.

Zack Greinke's Domin-O-s

YES, THERE IS GOOD NEWS COMING OUT OF KANSAS CITY these days, and a lot of it is pitching. While Joakim Soria is on his way to quickly becoming one of the game's premiere closers, there's also highly-talented Zack Greinke, whose scoreless streak dating back to last season now stands at 34 innings. Greinke is 3-0 this season, leads the league in strikeouts and continues to mow thru hitters, inning after inning in pursuit of Orel Hershiser's record 59 consecutive scoreless innings.
