August 6, 20232 yr I did look up when the Silver Slugger award was invented before I started, because I knew it was new-ish but wasn't sure exactly when. I didn't feel like that was cheating. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 125 9/9: Rarity: 79 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: https://immaculategrid.com @immaculategrid x @baseball_ref Spoiler It was fun doing one where I got to use all famous guys.

Edit: The guy who picked Ty Cobb as a MVP winner made me look further into the MVP award. A car company awarded a league MVP for both leagues from 1911 until 1914 (this is when Cobb won his AL MVP in 1911) The leagues themselves awarded MVPs for these years: AL (1922-1928) NL (1924-1929) Then the current award was established in 1931.

August 6, 20232 yr Spoiler I found out today that although Lamarr Hoyt won the Cy Young he was not an All-Star that year. It’s hard to believe that’s happened 17 times with Bret Saberhagen winning 2 Cys without being an All-Star either time.
