Last sim's trivia question:

Who are the only two pitchers to have at least two Cy Young Awards, two no-hitters, two World Series championships and two All Star Game appearances?
Jeff came up with one answer, Sandy Koufax.  Fred got the other - Tim Lincecum.

This sim's trivia question:

This week we have two questions -- both dealing with award voting:

1.  Who are the only four people since 1940 to have won an MVP award, but not have a single MVP vote in any other season?

2.  Who is the only player to have Rookie of the Year votes in two different seasons?  (Hint:  He didn't win the award either time.)

Twenty Commissioner points for the correct answers to either question.
