Last Sim's Trivia Question:

Who was the only member of a losing team to win the World Series MVP Award?

Fred provided the correct answer - Bobby Richardson of the 1960 New York Yankees.  This was the series when the Yankees blew out the Pirates in three games (16-3, 10-0 and 12-0), but lost four close matches to them (6-4, 3-2, 5-2 and 10-9). 

This Sim's Trivia Question:

OK, this one's going to be a bit tougher...

Since 1970, there have been three players who have stolen 15 or more bases in a season and yet, were caught more often they were successful.  Who are these three players?   Feel free to answer in the #random channel.

Administrative Note:

We have new owners for the Chicago and Maui franchises.  Welcome aboard Luke and Alex!
