Retroactive Cy Young Awards by Team

After I finished making my list of all of the Retroactive Cy Young Awards that I gave out to pre-1956 pitchers, I decided to figure out how many winners each team has had.  The National League teams had the advantage of more seasons, with some, like the Braves, dating back to 1876.  However, there were some AL teams who did well with their pitching as well.  Some of the teams on this list went through several name changes over the years; I have listed them here under their most common name.  The only team to have a winner in two different cities was the Braves, which had 12 in Boston and 1 in Milwaukee.  Additionally, many of the early teams no longer exist; teams in bold are still active MLB teams, although their cities may have changed since then.  All of the modern pre-expansion teams except for the St. Louis Browns (now the Baltimore Orioles) have had a pitcher win at least twice; the Browns never had one, and the Orioles didn't have a pitcher win a real Cy Young Award until Mike Cuellar in 1969.
