Default MVP Trivia
Only 4 outfielders have won back-to-back MVP awards. Name them.

Bonds obviously. I think Maris did. Dale Murphy. Have to think about the 4th. Maybe Mantle.

Well that didn't last long. I was expecting Murphy to take a little longer to pop up. Moving on

Hal Newhouser. Actually at one time there we 9 guys who had won back to back MVPs, one at each position. Lets see if people can name the catcher and 4 infielders.

Correct. He was the king of WW II baseball had some unreal seasons. I will stand down and let others try on the rest.

Until 1990* one player and ONLY one player at each position had won back to back MVP's. One of my all time favorite questions. You have your outfield (Maris, Mantle, Murphy) can you fill in your lineup card?

C
1b
2b
SS
3b
P

Easy to look up so play nice!

*another thing about baseball that Barry Bonds ruined

You beat me by 1 minute. I know the answer, so I will let others get the last 5.

Default Teddy Ballgame
1947. Despite batting .343, hitting 32 dingers, and knocking in 114 he lost out to DiMaggio. Oddly enough, six years earlier in 1941 when he batted .406 he was second to Joe D. again, who just happened to hit safely in 56 games. Or so I heard 🤪

This is probably an easy one:

What year were the two league MVPs born on the same day; same year?

Ted Williams won the Triple Crown in 42 and 47, but didn't win the MVP either time. Lou Gehrig also won the Triple Crown, but not the MVP.

Correct, since 1990 there have been 4 back to back MVPs. Bonds, Thomas, Pujols and Cabrera.

Ducky Medwick won the triple crown in 1937 (I think), but didn't win the MVP.
