OT Trivia...

[yankeesince59]

...if you have to Google to find the answer don't play.


I was voted MVP...but I never played in an All Star Game...who am I?



...the answer really surprised me.

 

[totus44]

quite a few mvp's that didn't make the all-star game the year they won MVP. But you mean an MVP that NEVER was selected all star in their career?

 

[yankeesince59]

...this particular individual NEVER played in an AS Game.

 

[totus44]

Has to be before bloated rosters. Hank Greenberg would be my guess with Gehrig a lock at 1B all those years.

 

[yankeesince59]

...nope, but a good guess...but I will say that this player came after Gehrig...and like I said, the answer really surprised me.

Zoilo Versalles

 

[yankeesince59]

...No, but another very good guess. (the answer will blow your mind)

 

[Majorball]

Was he an old Yankee or X Yankee?

 

[yankeesince59]

...MB, he never played for the Yanx.

 

[Majorball]

Please, another clue. In what decade(s) did this player perform? old timer?(before 1970s)

 

[yankeesince59]

[yankeesince59]

Can't believe Kirk Gibson never played in an AS Game...I think I read that he was selected twice but turned down both invitations.

I would of never known otherwise, wow,.... but, yep, Gibson turned down an invite, as a reserve, from his own Mgr. Sparky in 85, (Anderson picked reserves); then another from Herzog in 88.

Yeppers indeed, fkng mind boggling, the guy played like he was roaming the outfield like a Linebacker, hit like one too, (w/the bat)...!
