Notes:
- The medal was not awarded between 1942 and 1945, as a mark of respect to soldiers fighting overseas in World War II.
- Indicates that medal was awarded retrospectively as a countback rule was enforced until 1980
- The voting system in 1976 and 1977 had both field umpires awarding votes, resulting in higher vote tallies than other years.

Famous quotes containing the words winners and/or season:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
“The hour of the waning of love has beset us,
And weary and worn are our sad souls now;
Let us part, ere the season of passion forget us,
With a kiss and a tear on thy drooping brow.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
