Who was the first major league baseball player to earn the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award in both the American League and the National League?

 

Frank Robinson won the MVP in 1961 while with the first real "Big Red Machine" and then after he switched over to the AL he won the MVP in 1966 with the Baltimore Orioles.

 

NEXT QUIZ...................Sandy Koufax set the National League record for Strikeouts in the 1961 season with 269. Whose mark did he beat and how long had that record stood before Koufax beat it in 1961 ?

Name the only person that played for the seattle pilots and the seattle mariners.

 

The only player to play for both the Pilots and Mariners was Diego Segui who was 12-6 with the Pilots in '69 and 0-7 with the Mariners in '77.

 

NEXT QUIZ............Keeping with "Mariners theme" here, when the Mariners tied the AL record for wins in a season with 116 they won the West by 14 games over Oakland. They tied the win mark set by the '06 Cubs. When the Cubbies won those 116 games in '06 they won the National League pennant by how many games ?
