Y., in July after earning 210 votes from the 447 ballots cast by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
The Toronto-based Elliott, who started his journalism career at the Kingston Whig-Standard in 1967, received 123 votes and Chicago's Dave Van Dyck received 107. Peters was runner-up for the Spink Award last year. Elliott received an achievement award from Sports Media Canada earlier this year.
San Francisco, Toronto and Chicago. Impressive showing for a Toronto Sun Family member. Take a bow, Bob.
