2024 MLB Season

I'll take another stab at it - Harper, Freeman and Altuve?

Nope.
Freeman was really close at #1,#3, #4.

I'll give a hint on one of the players -- he has finished #3 with 3 separate teams.
The other one doesn't really need hints, it will come to your head soon enough.

I'll provide the answer during game time Tuesday night, if nobody answers it

Ohtani should be one.

Vlad Jr.?

 

[donniesyracuse]

Maybe Ramirez?

 

[jncuse]

Vlad Jr.?

Unfortunately as a Jays fan, Vlad has basically been a one year wonder in terms of superstar level play . (2021)

 

[jncuse]

Maybe Ramirez?

Ohtani is correct.
Jose Ramirez is a good guess (#2,#4,#6)

 

[donniesyracuse]

Semien

 

[jncuse]

Semien

Correct.
I forget how I ended up on Semien's baseball-reference page earlier today, but I was surprised to see he was #3 in MVP Voting in 2019 (Oakland) ,2021 (Toronto), and 2023 (Texas)

Addiction destroys another person's livelihood. Meanwhile, here is a message from FanDuel, the official sports book of MLB.

No “Pride Night” again in Texas.

 

[Lord Ashby]

Since were going with trivia... who is the player in MLB history to hit for a career cycle? Meaning he had a single, a double, triple and HR but not in the same games. Hint: He is from Syracuse.

 

[Lord Ashby]

Those were his only four hits for his career.

 

[bpo57]

Dave Giusti?

Who was the last switch hitter to win the MVP Award in the American League?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Who was the last switch hitter to win the MVP Award in the American League?

Well it wasn’t Eddie Murrray, (arguably the second greatest SH ever) that’s for damn sure. F’wad baseball writers, bunch of collective jack-offs. (Oh, did I rant? Sorry.)
Same group that didn’t give Teddy Ballgame the MVP when he won the triple crown because some guy left him off his ballot because Ted was mean to him.
Off course, the same group of guys who gladly put Gaylord Perry in the HOF, but have kept out some of the games greatest, including Bonds, Clemens, etc. Perry actually altered the flight path of the ball with his cheating.
.
(Tim Kirkjian seems like a good guy.)

Who was the last switch hitter to win the MVP Award in the American League?

Mickey Mantle?

I know Eddie Murray didn't win one. Rose didn't play in the AL, and I'm not even sure he won an MVP award.

This a tough one. I'll post an answer early this evening.

Well I did some research to find the correct answer and was able to find it. When you said a "tough one" I took the hint and was able to find it looking at a few players over the years.

Won't mention the answer as direct research (unless permitted) sort of defeats trivia rules.

Yeah the answer is Vida Blue 1971 Oakland As.

Did u play against him in HS?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Did u play against him in HS?

I played in a high school county v county “all star” game against Mel Hall. The dude hit the ball so hard.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

What member of the HOF had the lowest batting average?

 

[Lord Ashby]

Did u play against him in HS?
