But i had a great year. It s the most consistent year i be had. And i m very appreciative to my team mates for for Rose to have his most consistent season it was quite an accomplishment. He s batted Over .300 for nine straight years and reached the 200-hit plateau for the sixth time in his illustrious 11-year career. He led the majors with 230 hits this season. The 31-year-old Rose who came close to winning the map award in 1968 when he finished second to St. Louis Pitcher Bob Gibson boldly announced that he was t finished winning awards. I m going to win every Honor yet said the fiery Rose who boasted that he was the first sin Gles hitter in baseball making $100,000 a year. The Victory by Rose marked the third time that a Cincinnati player had been chosen map in the last four years. Bench won in 1970 and 1972. The Victory also debunked the theory that map players usually Are chosen from the league championship teams. Of the 43 map winners since the a Baa inaugurated the award in 1931, 15 have come from also ran teams. The reds won the National league West this year but were beaten by the mets in the play offs. For Stargell it marked the third straight year of frustration. In 1971 he was runner up to Joe Torre of St. Louis and last year finished third behind Bench and Billy Williams of the Chicago cubs. It does t come As a Shock said Stargell. That All happened in 71. There Are no hard feelings Between Pete and me because we had no control Over it. I think a lot of people de served it a total of 32 players were named in the balloting by the a Baa committee with 11 of the 12 teams represented. Not one san Diego player received a vote. Of " -.
