Answer to the Trivia Question on Home
Page
My name is Babe Ruth. Excuse me, the Great Babe Ruth. I hit 60 home runs in the 1927 season for the Yankees,
but yet didn't win the season MVP, while my teammate who hit only 47 home runs in the season won it. Who won the MVP in
1927? a. Lou Gehrig b. Schoolboy Rowe c. Hank Greenberg d.
Bob Feller
Your Answer: a. Lou Gehrig
The others were never Yankees, and did not begin their Major
League careers until the 1930s. Although Ruth hit a massive 60 home runs in the season, breaking his own season record of
59 in 1921, he had only 192 hits and batted .356 for the Yankees in the season. Lou Gehrig, in a quiet way, had 218 hits and
batted .373 in the season along with his own 47 home runs. It was the first of two AL MVPs that Lou would win, including the
Triple Crown award in 1934.
