	Nice quiz. Brett Butler's name is misspelled though.

	dedalusrex:	Jun 21st, 2011 at 20:28 GMT	2 points
	You also misspelled "Atlanta" for the 2005 entry.

	Wow. In retrospect, the 1969 award winner could not be further from the truth. However, the awards panel more than made up for it just a year later.

	Hank Aaron took speed. Willie Stargell sold speed. Steve Garvey had several children out of wedlock. Paul Molitor used cocaine. Alvin Dark was a racist. Don Sutton and Phil Niekro scuffed the ball. Glenn Davis got in a drunken fight and has his jaw broken. And Don Mattingly never got rid of those sideburns.

	Hindsight is always 20-20, but honestly now: how on earth didn't Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente win this award?

	HoundDog:	Jun 21st, 2011 at 21:37 GMT	1 point
	I believe it's the Braves, not the Brewers, in '61.

	Good quiz. The criteria for the prize would have helped.

	pete32782:	Jun 22nd, 2011 at 03:12 GMT	4 points
	McGwire and Rose....ummmm yeah, we're gonna need those back, guys.

	GeoExpert:	Jun 22nd, 2011 at 03:33 GMT	2 points
	A Roberto Clemente Award quiz would have been better. It is more prestigious, still exists (unlike Gehrig award which ceased after 2009), and never awarded Mark McGwire. (Though it did award Pete Rose, in hindsight a travesty)

	arrrgh did anybody else not guess any pitchers at all?

	stevoreno79:	Jun 22nd, 2011 at 06:55 GMT	3 points
	LOL @ pete32782, you beat me to the punch. Also, I went to school with one of Dale Murphy's sons and I still forgot him. Poor guy.

	phantom4ptplay:	Jun 22nd, 2011 at 15:36 GMT	1 point
	@kthejoker, do you have any proof? BTW, why did they take away the Gehrig award?

	ivn:	Jun 23rd, 2011 at 00:52 GMT	1 point
	@phantom4ptplay - Stargell and Molitor were among the many pro baseball players linked to the mid-80's drug trials. I don't know about Stargell but apparently Molitor confessed to using coke but quitting fairly early in his career according to this article - http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sports/2001987767_molitor25.html

	1968 - "Detriot" Tigers?

	HokieRebel:	Jun 26th, 2011 at 06:19 GMT	1 point
	@strags11 I tend to agree about Clemente and Robinson. But I think we've "made statues" of them (rightly so) and forgotten that at the time they both had combative personalities. Jackie played hard like Rose and often didn't get along with teammates (esp. black teammates he felt didn't fight racism) so probably rubbed people wrong. I think with Roberto the press dubbed him "sullen" and "moody" when really it was a language/cultural barrier. And of course the racism of the press played into it. I've only read about these men, too young sadly to have watched them. But yeah, if Rose got in, why not Jackie since they played the same way.

	When he was young Clemente had a chip on his shoulder. In 1960 he was openly pissed that a couple of teammates including winner Dick Groat finished ahead of him in the MVP voting. This didn't help his image w/sportswriters or his teammates.

	Kthejoker: You are doing Alvin Dark an injustice. Both Willie Mays (whom Dark had named captain of the Giants) and Jackie Robinson (a bitter rival) claimed that Dark was not a racist when the accusations flew in 1964. Dark himself said he was severely misquoted at the time and considering that I can't find any other instances of racist tendenices after that (and he managed several more years), I tend to believe him.

	7 out of 55, that sucked.
