Happy New Year!
It’s the last day of Two Thousand Sixteen and what a year it was for the Cubs. As it turns out, it was The Year for the Chicago Cubs.
Jon Lester had an incredible, Cy Young-worthy season for the Cubs. Lester was key to the Cubs winning the World Series, shared the NLCS MVP Award with Javier Baez and finished second in the Cy Young Award voting. Lester received the The Babe Ruth Award for the Most Valuable Player in the Postseason.
Lester was named the recipient of this year’s Warren Spahn Award, which is presented annually to the best left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball.
