: "In '67, the Triple Crown was never even mentioned once," Yastrzemski said
: Wednesday night. "We were so involved in the pennant race, I didn't know I
: won the Triple Crown until the next day, when I read it in the paper."
: Yastrzemski "1967的時候三冠王從來沒被提起過 我們一直沉浸在分區冠軍爭奪賽中
: 我也是隔天看報紙才知道得了三冠王"
那年的MVP票選也很有趣
雖然Yastrzemski打出號稱夢幻般的一季 但在MVP票選並沒有獲得全票
Name Pts 1st HR AVG OBP SLG
Carl Yastrzemski 275 19 44 .326 .418 .622
Harmon Killebrew 161 0 44
Bill Freehan 137 0
Joe Horlen 91 0
Al Kaline 88 0
Jim Lonborg 82 0
Jim Fregosi 70 0
Cesar Tovar 70 1 6 .267 .325 .365
逃走的那一票是明尼蘇達的記者 而這票並不是投給並列全壘打王的Killebrew
而是投給多功能工具人Cesar Tovar
記者事後解釋他的理由
“He played six positions for the Twins and I saw him win games for them at
all six positions. We didn’t have the best of player relations on our club,
but Tovar never got mixed up in any of the clubhouse politics. He kept
plugging away, no matter where they put him, and to me he did a tremendous
job. If I wanted to be a ‘homer,’ I would have voted for Harmon Killebrew.
But Tovar was my choice and, if I had to do it all over again, I’d vote for
him again.”
