Winfield had a bunch as well-- 7, and like Murray did it in both leagues. Kaline had no real chance in three of his seasons when he lost out to guys who won the Triple Crown (although he was not runner-up anyway). Thankfully Al got his one World Series appearance-- seems like he was always a bridesmaid. Glad he gets some love here.
