Halladay’s Amazing Stat

Tom Verducci at SI.com gave Roy his vote for NL Cy Young, pointing out that he is a lock for the award. That's all well and good, but check out this little tidbit: [SI.com]

This one is going to be unanimous. Halladay led the league in wins, shutouts, innings, complete games, walk rate and strikeout to walk ratio. And the famously demanding Halladay also reached his annual goal: more starts (33) than walks (30). Halladay (2003, 2010) joined Cy Young himself (1904, 1905) as the other pitchers to twice have more starts than walks while striking out 200 batters

Amazing. However, somehow Charlie Manuel isn't on the list of top three managers of the year in the NL.
