3 College Football All-Americans have won an MLB MVP.
Correct, Scott! Kirk Gibson won MVP with the Dodgers in 1988 and MOY with Arizona in 2011.

I believe Kirk Gibson is the only member of the College Football Hall of Fame to have won a MLB MVP.

And despite winning an MVP and finishing 6th in 1984, Kirk Gibson was never an All-Star.

Scott, I'm not sure who the other College Football All-Americans were that on an MLB MVP, but I'd like to know.
