"1998" for NBA is 1997-98 season. "2009" for NFL is 2009-10 season. I know MLB MVP is not the actual award but you get the idea.
Time is measured only between first and last awards, so max. 1 appearance on list.

	You spelled Johnson "Johnsn". Otherwise, good quiz.

	ugotbicked:	May 24th, 2010 at 04:43 GMT	3 points
	Title implies they didn't win the award in the between years.

	bronxbombers2:	May 24th, 2010 at 04:51 GMT	-4 points
	This could have been a good quiz but you screwed it up. Nice.

	amwoods13:	May 24th, 2010 at 05:23 GMT	2 points
	I'm guessing you meant to call this quiz "Most years between when a player first won an award and last won an award, as many of these guys won the award in the intervening years.

	rk559:	May 24th, 2010 at 05:33 GMT	0 points
	The title and quiz are completely accurate. I can't really control any inferences you might make, other than where I've put: "Time is measured only between first and last awards, so max. 1 appearance on list." Thanks for playing.

	Significantly, the two "Woah!" numbers, the baseball leaders, cheated for just this purpose - to be able to play better, longer. So, if you want to see what steroids actually DO, this list is a better bit of evidence than the sheer numbers.

	john wtf are u talking about...mays didnt cheat. Also this is not a better indication of steroids than the numbers. You must be drunk. Bonds numbers in later years is what happens when a hall of famer starts taking roids. You get 73 homeruns in 476 at bats.

	change the title to most time between first and last awards...because thats what it is

	rk559:	May 24th, 2010 at 16:07 GMT	0 points
	It's weird to me how caught up everyone is in the whole "awards in between" thing. I don't see why Bonds, DiMaggio, Jordan, etc. should be penalized (that is, moved down the list if I did award-to-award span) for winning more than twice... Instead of dissecting my semantics, wouldn't you rather discuss the improbability of winning MVP awards 14 seasons apart?

	Xenos:	May 24th, 2010 at 17:01 GMT	3 points
	When you say "the most time between winning awards" it leads you to think you are asking who had the longest draught between awards. A much better way to word it would be something like "the longest time between first and last win of these awards". Otherwise a really fun quiz. And yes, Willie Mays was using just as many performance enhancers as Bonds was.

	change the title and it would be ok. its misleading.

	GeorgiaPeach:	May 24th, 2010 at 18:42 GMT	1 point
	Lou Gehrig won one in 1927 and another in 1936. A solid ten-year difference, but I don't know if you're not counting the 1927 one because it wasn't the exactly the MVP award we know today.

	GeorgiaPeach:	May 24th, 2010 at 18:44 GMT	1 point
	Also, the numbers next to the seasons are off. 1990-2004 is 14 years, but 15 seasons in baseball (you're counting the 1990 season).

	rk559:	May 24th, 2010 at 20:10 GMT	1 point
	Good points but I thought of both: You're right about Gehrig and the reason he's not included. Bonds won the MVP award at the end of the '90 season and also the end of the '04 season, a 14-year span. Your reasoning would mean a player who won back-to-back had a 2 year gap between awards.

	decent quiz, bad title, too many excuses, and you just ignore a big 4 sport. change the title
