Let’s cash those Mookie MVP tickets.
Julio out of the lineup again today. Tend to think they’re just being cautious and giving him a full recovery from something minor since it’s an off day tomorrow, but last night was just like someone reached in and removed their skeleton a few minutes before first pitch. I couldn’t even be mad at them for the lackluster performance under those circumstances.

Trivia time: Only two players have won ROTY, MVP, and competed in and won 3 world series rings (wording is important there.) Who are they?
I quit, I’m never doing better than this.

I’m just so bad at all of the “who played on team x and team y” questions.

One is super easy but I had to cheat and look at the Baseball Reference ROTY list to figure out the other and even then it took me 4 guesses.
Was it the more current or less current player that was easy for you?
I read your post and thought “oh shit, [more current player] isn’t the only one?”
Interesting. Would have thought the older one waa more obvious.
I know one and am now curious to know whether he is the most current one or not.
Still not sure why the wording matters. I was thinking maybe someone who played in 3 WS and won another ring as manager, but only guy I can think of is Frank Robinson and he sucked as a manager.
Or maybe it’s something weird like where Jeter’s WS MVP counts?
Probably is but I’m biased as a fan of the more recent player’s team and having watched his entire career compared to only knowing a little about the other guy’s career.

Yeah I missed Yankees Rockies too, got everything else.
I got lucky with my old standby, knew he’d been on the Rockies but wasn’t certain about the Yankees

I had to look it up cause I had no idea–he in played 8 games only pitched 5 innings for the rockies and you made it sound like duh, everybody knows that lmao
Yeah, today was probably my best rarity ever (past or future): 35. Always enjoy trying to go for pitchers with Silver Slugger.
Another game another 0 runs in suppott for Logan Webb who threw 6 innings of 1 run ball befofe giving up two runs in the 7th. Miserable.
Number one ahead of Greinke. The next closest with a decent ERA has .2 greater support.
he’s 9-12 with a 3.5 ERA and isn’t on the A’s
sounds like whoever is the best pitcher with low run support be the King Felix award
Steele has been fantastic though, not surprised.
