Thousands and thousands of men have played Major League baseball during the sport’s rich history in America.

Only 26, though, have accomplished the feat of being named Rookie of the Year and then went on to win at least one Most Valuable Player Award.

Guess what? That’s your Trivia Tuesday challenge this week — name all 26.

We’ve given you the years each award was earned and in which league, you just have to identify the player.

A couple of other hints — two of the players are marked with asterisks. This means they won the Rookie of the Year and MVP with different teams. Additionally, only two of the 26 are pitchers.

You’ve got eight minutes — good luck!
