From Quiz They Had Their Cake Too!

Answer: Sandy Koufax

Koufax went 25-5 with 306 strikeouts in 1963. He helped guide the Dodgers to a 4-0 World Series crown against the Yankees. He won the Cy Young by taking a first place vote on every ballot. He won the MVP Award over the Cardinals' Dick Groat, and the Braves' Hank Aaron.

The others weren't in the top ten voting for the MVP in 1941. DiMaggio hit 43 doubles to Williams' 33, 11 triples to Williams' 3, and had 193 hits to Williams' 185. This was a somewhat legitimate MVP award, although Ted hit over .400, and Ted had been allegedly 'blackballed' due to his avoidance of the media.

From Quiz Creams of the Crop

Answer: Sandy Koufax

Koufax had the most profilic four seasons in baseball than any other player had experienced. In 1963, Sandy won the Cy Young, Triple Crown, MVP, and World Series MVP. He repeated this feat in 1965, but failed to win the MVP because a Giant named Mays stood in his way. In 1966, Koufax won the Cy Young and Triple Crown again, but somehow was runner-up MVP again, losing by 10 voting points to Pirate Roberto Clemente. Koufax retired after the 1966 season, throwing a 27-9 record along with 317 strikeouts.
