I was so very disappointed when I read the back (another inept editor!).

Only off by 44 YEARS!!!

Still, the ONLY player to win MVP in BOTH Leagues!!!

Thanks Frank

Actually, that statement is technically correct, as it was 45 years later that Miguel Cabrera won the triple crown in 2012.

If you consider the 45-year span from 1967-2011 (inclusive), Yaz was the only triple crown winner.
