Hey, that was easy! Cut and paste!

1899 Win Shares:
Players; Ed Delahanty (Philadelphia) 41, John McGraw (Baltimore) 34, Chick Stahl (Boston) and Jimmy Williams (Pittsburgh) 32, Joe Kelley (Brooklyn) Roy Thomas (Philadelphia) and Jesse Burkett (St. Louis) 30 each, Willie Keeler (Brooklyn) 29.

Pitchers; Vic Willis (Boston) 39, Joe McGinnity (Baltimore) and Cy Young (St. Louis) 35, Jay Hughes (Brooklyn) 33, Frank Kitson (Baltimore) and Kid Nichols (Boston) 31.

Top player: Delahanty was outstanding again, and the best hitter in the league, leading in batting, slugging, OPS, hits, total bases, doubles, and RBI. McGraw had a great year, but it's hard to overcome that kind of performance.

Top rookie to Jimmy Williams, the Pirates sensational new third baseman. Williams had a good career, but not up to this first year's promise. Runner-up was McGinnity, and Sam Crawford also broke in this year.

Top pitcher was a toss-up between Vic Willis and Cy Young. I'll go for Willis, but I think Cy might have performed better.

Best manager to Ned Hanlon, who went to Brooklyn after seven years in Baltimore, and led the Superbas to their first pennant since 1890. And he did it with Willie Keeler, Joe Kelley, and a bunch of has-beens, never-weres, and guys playing over their heads.

Best Batter: Ed Delhanty
Delhanty with another good year. Was first in the league in Batting average and SLG% and snd to McGraw's insane .547 OBP.

Best Pitcher: Vic Willis
Willis gets the nod with a 27-8 record and 2.50 ERA.

Best Rookie (I am going by baseball-reference's debut listing): Iron Joe McGinnity
28-16 for the HOFer in his debut year.

Best Manager: Ned Hanlon
Leads the Superbas to a championship after they finished 10th just 1 year before.

I'm going to change my pitcher vote to Pittsburgh's Jesse Tannehill, the lefty with a 24-14 record and 2.73 ERA.
