...amazing season (49 HRs, 137 RBIs, .287 B.A.) Dawson was awarded the NL Most Valuable Player Award, while George Bell of the Blue Jays was honored with the AL award. The two outfielders are going to have a tough time winning the award again this year. There have only been nine players who have won the coveted award in back-to-back seasons. Oddly enough, they correspond to each field position (i.e. three outfielders, one pitcher, one catcher, one first baseman, one second baseman, one third baseman and a shortstop). Can you name them?

...lefty-hitting centerfielder was up again the next inning with the bases loaded. This time, Crowley went the opposite field with a liner that streaked past leftfielder Peg Cokowoski. Crowley wound up at third base with three more RBIs in her pocket. She scored Harvard's 10th run on an error by Culbertson...
