Last Week's Trivia Question:
Since 1960, there have been three teams that have had five past/present/future MVPs on the team in any given year.  What are those years/teams and who are the players?

OK, so this one was a tough one...

The three teams are:

1960 Yankees:
  • Yogi Berra (1951, 1954, 1955)
  • Elston Howard (1963)
  • Mickey Mantle (1956, 1957, 1962)
  • Roger Maris (1960, 1961)
  • Bobby Shantz (1952)

1963 Cardinals
  • Ken Boyer (1964)
  • Bob Gibson (1968)
  • Dick Groat (1960)
  • Stan Musial (1943, 1946, 1948)
  • Bobby Shantz (1952)

1972 As
  • Vida Blue (1971)
  • Orlando Cepeda (1967)
  • Rollie Fingers (1981)
  • Reggie Jackson (1973)
  • Denny McLain (1968)

This Week's Trivia Question:

This one should be somewhat easier than last week's:

There is one franchise that had four past/present/future Cy Young Award winners on it's staff for three consecutive seasons.  What is the franchise and years and who are the four Cy Young Award winners?

Next Sim:  Next Wednesday.
