The 'ALCS MVPs' quiz

The Toronto Blue Jays begin their American League title defense tonight against the Athletics at the Rogers Centre, and they do so knowing Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is in the fold for the long-haul. 

After reaching Game 7 of the World Series before falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the question of Guerrero Jr. 's playing future was a bit up in the air. But in April, Guerrero and the Blue Jays agreed to a 14-year, $500 million contract that ties him to Toronto through his age-40 season. 

The seven-year veteran – who is still just 27 years old – is a five-time All-Star, two-time Silver Slugger and won ALCS MVP honors last season. He hit .385 with three home runs, four walks, 10 hits and six runs against the Mariners. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the players to be named MVP of the American League Championship Series since the distinction was first awarded in 1980 can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
