### Examples

    # Vote tallies for post-season player awards

    require(plyr)

    # Which awards are represented in this data frame?
    unique(AwardsSharePlayers$awardID)

    # Sort the votes for the Cy Young award in decreasing order.
    # For the first few years, the award went to the best pitcher
    # in both leagues.

    cyvotes <- ddply(subset(AwardsSharePlayers, awardID == "Cy Young"),
                     .(yearID, lgID), arrange, desc(pointsWon))

    # 2012 votes
    subset(cyvotes, yearID == 2012)

    # top three votegetters each year by league

    cya_top3 <- ddply(cyvotes, .(yearID, lgID), function(d) head(d, 3))

    # unanimous Cy Young winners
    subset(cyvotes, pointsWon == pointsMax)

    # Top five pitchers with most top 3 vote tallies in CYA
    head(with(cya_top3, rev(sort(table(playerID)))), 5)

    # Ditto for MVP awards

    MVP <- subset(AwardsSharePlayers, awardID == "MVP")
