... )

The only thing we do know is that it was a long time ago and he played for the Red Sox, which is why I thought it was Williams
Is it Ty Cobb?

Correctamundo!

Won it his 3rd back in the 1930's

Your up Incandenza.

All right.

New question:
Name two baseball players who won MVPs while playing for a last place team.

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Sun Jun 17, 2007 5:17 pm

Alex Rodriguez and... Steve Carlton?

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Sun Jun 17, 2007 5:39 pm

Yes to A-Rod, but Carlton never won an MVP.

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Sun Jun 17, 2007 9:04 pm

A Rod and Miguel Tejada?

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Sun Jun 17, 2007 10:29 pm

Frank Thomas?

No to the aforementioned.... however, I fucked this up a bit. The other person that I know of that won an MVP on a last-place team actually did so on a team that finished second-to-last... so, yeah, I mildly fucked this one up. But I'll make it better with a clue: the team this gentleman played for is in the AL East.

Albert Belle?

Carlos Delgado w/ the Jays?

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 4:02 pm

Neither.

Okay, another hint: the year the other bloke won the MVP (for the second-to-last place team) was 1991.

Cheesemore · Post by **Cheesemore** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 4:44 pm

Now I feel stupid (at least I was on the right team)
Cal Ripkin Jr.

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 6:32 pm

Yep, Ripken it is... the overall question came from a debate I had with a buddy over whether Cecil "Heavy C" Fielder won the MVP that year he hit 84 million homers for the Tigers, which devolved into the whole 'who played for the worst team yet still won an MVP' debate... beers may or may not have been involved...

Even tho spurg got A-Rod, I'll pass this off to Cheese, who got the arguably more difficult of the two.

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 3:30 am

Inarguably.

Cheesemore · Post by **Cheesemore** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 4:27 pm

This one may be easy
In 1998 an American League team switched to the National League, who was that team?

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 7:28 pm

Milwaukee Brewers

Pretty positive on that

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 7:29 pm

Name the only NBA player to win MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Coach of the Year Honors.

Cheesemore · Post by **Cheesemore** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 7:42 pm

I like how you guys just don't wait for me anymore
but yeah it was the Brewers
