Zoilo Versalles, Twins, 1965
Cal Ripken??
Yes on Wills and Versailles (one of the most unlikely MVP’s). Although Wills was ‘62, when he stole 104 bases. And he didn’t deserve it. All Willie did that year was hit 49 Homers drive in 141 runs and slash .304/.384/615/.999 and win a gold glove. But Willie was so good it was just another year.
Ripken won in ‘83. But one other SS won before him.
.384
.615
.999
I see my mistake. Banks won MVP in 1958 and 1959, so he missed the '60s.
