Fun Fact: On July 21, 1973, Hank Aaron became just the second player in baseball history after Babe Ruth to clobber 700 home runs. Only 16,236 fans saw the game at Atlanta Stadium. The blast came off Philadelphia lefty Ken Brett with a man on in the third inning, but the Braves lost to the Phillies 8-4. Though 39 yeards old, Aaron hit 40 homers for the season.

Trivia answer: False. It has been done 5 times. Brooklyn's Dazzy Vance won the award in 1924, when he pitched to a 28-6 mark. In 1965, Cuban shortstop Zoilo Versalles took the award, leading the league in doubles (45) and triples (12) and helping earn the Twins a pennant. Red Sox first baseman Mo Vaughn took MVP honors in 1995. Joey Votto won for the Reds in 2010, and Tiger Justin Verlander won the MVP and Cy Young honors in 2011.
