Default MLB HOFer quiz

Hi

I saw this and I was shocked that there were not more.

Question How many MLB players were the Rookie of the Year, an MVP, a World Series Champ, and I first ballot HOFers were there?

And can you name them?

Frank Robinson and Jackie Robinson come to mind. Was Mays rookie of the year, probably. Bench? Ripken, was he ever MVP?

Great question!

I'm sure there are more, but the Robinsons, Mays and Bench come to mind.

EDIT: Looks like Peter beat me to most of them. Nice job Peter

Cal Ripken Jr.
Frank Robinson
Willie Mays
Jackie Robinson

Of course, they didn't have all the parameters that Jeff asked for going all the way back in time. For example, the ROY wasn't started until 1940, so guys like Cobb, Wagner, and Ruth could never have qualified for this question.

Derek Jeter was close, but he was only a WS MVP and All-Star MVP, but never a league MVP. I'm assuming Jeff meant the MVP designation as the overall league MVP. If not, and he's counting the WS and All-Star MVPs as well, then you can add Jeter to the list.

Forgot about Bench.

To clarify

I did not mean World Series or All Star MVP

But Peter nailed it

Congrats
