The 'American League MVPs' quiz

Created on November 13, 2026 | Total tries: 0 | Average Score: 0.0 out of 80 (0%) | Quiz FAQ

There aren’t many players with a more complete trophy case than Yordan Alvarez, who already owns a World Series ring, a Rookie of the Year Award, a Batting Title and a Silver Slugger.

Now, he’ll add a unanimous American League MVP to that resume.

The Houston Astros slugger led all of baseball with 109 walks and a slash line of .316/.432/1.033 while mashing 42 home runs and 106 RBI. The dominant season was especially satisfying for Alvarez after he played in just 48 games in 2025.

“Everybody knows I had some injury struggles last year. I was anxious to get back,” he said through an interpreter.

“This year, I never really had any minor injuries or soreness. I was able to maintain my health and we saw what that amounted to.”

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the players to be named American League MVP in MLB’s Integration Era (since 1947) can you name in 10 minutes?

Good luck!
