Last Sim's Trivia Question:

The Cy Young Award was first awarded in 1956.  Since then, who is the only pitcher to win 25 (or more) games in three different seasons and yet never win the Cy Young Award?  

The answer, correctly given by Fred, is Juan Marichal, who won 25 games in 1963 and 1966, and won 26 in 1968, but never got a single Cy Young vote in any season except 1971 when he won 18.  He finished 8th in the Cy Young voting that year. 

(Oddly enough, he got MVP votes in those years, but no Cy Young votes.).
