This is the eighth time a Reds player has been honored. The others were Scott Williamson (1999), Chris Sabo (1988), Pat Zachry (1976), Johnny Bench (1968), Tommy Helms (1966), Pete Rose (1963) and Frank Robinson (1956).
India is the seventh second baseman to win the National League award, joining Rose, Steve Sax (1982), Ted Sizemore (1969), Jim Lefebvre (1965), Ken Hubbs (1962) and Junior Gilliam (1953).
