    ...if you have to Google to find the answer don't play.


    I was voted MVP...but I never played in an All Star Game...who am I?



    ...the answer really surprised me.

    quite a few mvp's that didn't make the all-star game the year they won MVP. But you mean an MVP that NEVER was selected all star in their career?

    Has to be before bloated rosters. Hank Greenberg would be my guess with Gehrig a lock at 1B all those years.

    Can't believe Kirk Gibson never played in an AS Game...I think I read that he was selected twice but turned down both invitations.

    I would of never known otherwise, wow,.... but, yep, Gibson turned down an invite, as a reserve, from his own Mgr. Sparky in 85, (Anderson picked reserves); then another from Herzog in 88.

    Yeppers indeed, fkng mind boggling, the guy played like he was roaming the outfield like a Linebacker, hit like one too, (w/the bat)...!
