In this morning's Mug I linked to this post from Cyril Morong, where he noted that four former Brewers are among the eight greatest position players who never received a vote for MVP.
That post served as the inspiration for today's quiz: There are 13 current or former Brewers who have been worth at least ten wins above replacement (rWAR) for Milwaukee, but were never mentioned on an MVP ballot during their time here. How many can you name in five minutes?
If the quiz isn't displaying correctly for you here or you'd simply prefer to take it over there, follow this link to play the quiz at Sporcle.com.
Please post your score in the comments below, but also remember that comments on this post may contain spoilers. If you get all 13 answers correct, post your time along with your score in the comments.
If you've finished this quiz and would like another challenge, here are this offseason's other Thinkers:
- Name the new homes of this winter's top 50 free agents (updated today).
