"On Nov. 13, 1974, then-Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Steve Garvey received 13 of the 22 first-place votes to win the National League MVP Award, finishing ahead of Lou Brock. In 155 games, Garvey hit .312/.342/.469 with 21 home runs and 111 RBI, also being named an All-Star for the first time and winning his first of four Gold Gloves. The Dodgers won the NL pennant that year before being defeated by the Oakland Athletics in the World Series."
"Also occurring on Nov. 13 was Dodgers closer Eric Gagne winning the NL Cy Young Award in 2003, outpacing Jason Schmidt and becoming just the ninth reliever in Major League history to win the award. Gagne's 2003 season was a historical one as he appeared in 77 games, converting all 55 of his save opportunities while posting a 1.20 ERA, 0.86 FIP and 0.69 WHIP with 137 strikeouts and 20 walks in 82.1 innings."
"Nov. 13 carries a ton of significance in Dodgers history as far as awards go with Clayton Kershaw also taking home the NL MVP in 2014, becoming the first pitch to do so since Bob Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1968. Kershaw also won the NL Cy Young in 2014 after going 21-3 with a 1.77 ERA, 1.81 FIP and 0.86 WHIP with 239 strikeouts and 31 walks in 198.1 innings across 27 starts."
