Robin Roberts never won the Cy Young, his best days were in the past by the time the award was introduced. But it was his early 1950s dominance that inspired the creation of the Cy Young - commissioner Ford Frick felt that Roberts had been overlooked for the MVP, and that baseball needed an award specifically to honor pitchers.
