That would be correct.

I'll start you off with the tricky one.

Jeff Bagwell.
While true Bags was drafted by Boston he was traded before playing a pro game for them and played his entire career as an Astro.

**Headsterx** · 10-03-23, 08:15 PM

I’ll go with the easiest one since he’s an Ironman, Cal Ripken. Other than him I’m clueless. I’m shocked there were 21.

Joe Mauer

Correct.

There's just one pitcher that has won an MVP award who has spent his entire career pitching for the same team.

Who's that pitcher?

Mattinly wasnt right I looked it up after I typed it he only played 13 years for Yankees

**2Sweeet** · 10-03-23, 09:09 PM

I don't no the pitcher but I have another guess Willie Stargell Pirates.

I would have thought so as well, but no.
Two Red Sox have won an MVP award while playing their entire career in Boston, Yaz isn't one however.

Stargell is correct, the pitcher is Kershaw.

**2Sweeet** · 10-03-23, 09:25 PM

Tony Gwynn

Al Kiline

George Brett

Robin Yout

Kaline would be correct but he was pre reserve clause.

Yount and Brett are correct.

OK, here we go.

Thurman Munson, Buster Posey are the catchers.
The two Red Sox are Jim Rice and Dustin Pedroia.
Michael Jack Schmidt, the greatest third baseman of all time is in there.
Barry Larkin, the toughest one to get IMO.
Chipper Jones, Joey Votto, Ryan Braun, Jose Altuve.
Mike Trout, Ohtani, and Aaron Judge rounds out the list of 21.

Since 1975 when MLB abolished the reserve clause there have been 21 players that have won an MVP award and played their entire career playing for just one team.

Name them?

I'll start going thru the list. No cheating. Just from memory.

1) This is an asterisk b/c he was co-MVP (w/ Keith Hernandez). Stargell, PITT.

2) George Brett, KC.

3) Mike Schmidt, PHI.

4) Alan Trammell, DET. Honestly, not sure about this one. I know he was close.

5) Robin Yount, MILW.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 10-03-23, 09:45 PM

6) Jim Rice, BOS.

7) Don Mattingly, NYY.

Cal Ripken Jr

**BradytheK9** · 10-04-23, 12:31 AM

Ryan Howard

**BradytheK9** · 10-04-23, 12:32 AM

Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout

I was thinking Ripken was the easiest one and had tunnel vision with thinking of years ago only. Forgot to think about the more recent ones. Surprising they’re still with the same team, though the last two might be gone by summer.

Nasher, thanks for the brain teaser. Missed SBR trivia and this helps out the sports brain from getting cobwebs.

Not a problem, I thought that was a good brain trivia question.
