Default Please move to the single season AS thread -- I goofed

Brian, Ruth was not eligible to win the MVP as he had won it in 1923. The rules at the time did not allow for repeat winners. In 1926 George Burns(!) won it over Ruth. Of course, Gehrigs '27 season was so great he might have won it anyway.
