More Useless Baseball Trivia
In the history of MLB, only 11 players have won back-to-back MVP's. I will give you the position of each player, you fill in the names.
P (1 player) C (1 player) 1B (2 players) 2B (1 player) 3B (1 player) SS (1 player) OF (4 players) As an interesting note, 4 of these players are not in the HOF. |

Re: More Useless Baseball Trivia
Good question. I am going to guess at most of these.
C: Berra or Bench. I am sure it is not Campy 1st: Frank Thomas (not in HOF) Maybe Ruth but I dont think they had the award then, so I guess Jimmy Foxx 2nd: Joe Morgan 3rd: Mike Schmidt? SS: No clue, want to say Ernie or Ozzie but I dont think so. OF: Bonds (not in HOF)and he did it twice; and three years running. Only player to win in back to back on two different teams. Mantle, Maris, dont know the other one P: No clue, and unless it happened before the advent of the Cy Young award, it should not matter. The four who are not in the HOF?!?!Maris, BALCO err Bonds, Big Hurt, and who else? |

OF - Roger Maris, Dale Murphy, Barry Bonds, Mickey Mantle 2B - Joe Morgan C - Yogi Berra SS - Ernie Banks P - Hal Newhouser 3B - Brooks Robinson 1B - Lou Gehrig, Raphael Palmeiro |

And the Answer is...
Together, DonWaade and Kurn have provided all the names except one.
P - Newhouser (sp?) C - Berra 1B - Foxx and Thomas 2B - Morgan SS - Banks 3B - Schmidt OF - Mantle, Maris, Dale Murphy, Bonds Obviously Bonds and Thomas aren't in the HOF (yet), and Maris and Murphy haven't been inducted either. |

If you're actually going to be on the show, I'm jealous. The first time I ever watched it, they were on some guy's $500,000 question and I knew the answer before seeing the choices. The question: Who is the only woman to be Supreme Chief of the Cherokee nation? |
