Zack Greinke on the cover of Sports Illustrated on this day 17 years ago. Greinke won the 2009 AL Cy Young in a landslide with a 2.16 ERA and a 16-8 record for the last-place Royals.

Felix Hernandez, Justin Verlander, and CC Sabathia each had 19 wins that year, but received just three of the 28 first-place votes among them.
