The 'American League MVPs' quiz

The race for Most Valuable Player in the American League was tight this season, with Cal Raleigh’s historic home-run season for both a catcher and switch-hitter going up against one of the best all-around seasons from Aaron Judge

The edge went to Judge, who won his third MVP in four seasons. Judge hit 53 home runs and 114 RBIs despite missing a chunk of the season with an elbow injury. He led all of baseball in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and OPS. He also walked a staggering 114 times, setting an American League single-season record with 36 of them coming intentionally. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Judge became the 13th player in MLB history to win at least three MVPs. With that being said, can you name every American League MVP in the Integration Era (since 1947) in 10 minutes?

Good luck!
