From Quiz They Had Their Cake Too!

Answer: Sandy Koufax

Koufax went 25-5 with 306 strikeouts in 1963. He helped guide the Dodgers to a 4-0 World Series crown against the Yankees. He won the Cy Young by taking a first place vote on every ballot. He won the MVP Award over the Cardinals' Dick Groat, and the Braves' Hank Aaron.

From Quiz Creams of the Crop

Answer: Sandy Koufax

Koufax had the most profilic four seasons in baseball than any other player had experienced. In 1963, Sandy won the Cy Young, Triple Crown, MVP, and World Series MVP.

In 1966, Koufax won the Cy Young and Triple Crown again, but somehow was runner-up MVP again, losing by 10 voting points to Pirate Roberto Clemente.
