How do you spell Mays incorrectly? Lol

Because when you are an average player, your name isnt recognizable -- thus not easy to remember how to spell.

Killebrew did, I think.

It’s weird because I waited several minutes after the question and no replies....walked out to garage and 60 seconds later 6 new posts appeared. I’ve messed up a few times but I’m putting this one on Justin if you don’t mind. Thanks

Yeah, Ive made posts after a refresh (to make sure I am not duplicating an answer) and then after I post, there are like 9 new posts that didnt show up on the refresh. 

QUESTION #49

This post-1975 player never mad the Hall, but his rookie numbers would have made you think he would.

Rookie year: Led the league in innings pitched (192.1), complete games (11), and shutouts (8), all while posting a 13-7 record and a sub-2.50 ERA.

He would go on to notch only one 20-win season in his 17-year career, and he would go on to have more seasons with losing records than winning ones, though his overall winning % was still just a little over .500.

Lead league in innings with 192?

Valenzuela in 1981 strike year?

Peavy?

That's it.

Peavy?

Good guess too

194 innings would never lead....1994 I doubt anyone got to that many innings and 1995 I doubt that would lead but maybe. I went 1981 similar to 1994 but pitchers threw more

Still pissed about this one O-Trap. I hope this kept this great player from making the HOF. Nearly 400 HR, 1400 rbi tremendous outfielder

Ha, I was going to guess Valenzuela...thought he had a way better record to start career. Like Gooden (but not that good).

Gooden was insane....especially at 19

I plan on coming up with some more MVP related ones...but I need to get my other laptop. Comes down to effort at this point lol.

I welcome you guys adding yours. Little different angles and I like playing as much or more than I like asking them.

I'll do a semi-combined one. You guys should rifle through MOST of these quickly...Might be a few that trick you up.

QUESTION 50:

Since 1980, 16 players have had a run of 3 consecutive top-5 MVP finishes. 3 of them are in the HOF. Who are they? 

QUESTION 51: 

Who are the other 13?

I like #50

Schmidt?

Let’s get 50 before starting 51

Frank Thomas I’m decently sure

Griffey
