Trivia: Who is the only World Series MVP to play for the losing team?
Bob Turley
Sandy Koufax
Johnny Podres
Bobby Richardson
The correct answer is Bobby Richardson
So why is this answer correct? : The 1960 World Series between the Pirates and Yankees was capped off with Bill Mazeroski’s Game 7 series-clinching homer. Despite Mazeroski’s heroics, the Yankees’ Bobby Richardson took home MVP honors, having driven in a World Series record of 12 runs. He also received a Corvette for winning MVP but traded it in for a Jeep that could better accommodate his family. Richardson remains the only losing player to win World Series MVP to this day.
