In 1956, Robin Roberts was named to the NL All-Star team and subsequently led the league in losses. (He was 8-10 at the ASB and finished 19-18).

This hitter did him one better, he was voted his league's MVP despite leading the league in strikeouts and errors. Name him.

Very good, evel. For that you may have another.

Who are the only two men to hit five homers in a doubleheader? Curious fact: when the older of the two did it, the younger was in the stands.

That's an easy one. Stan Musial hit 5 homers vs the Giants in a double header on May 2, 1954. Young Nate Colbert happened to be in the stands that day and later he went on to duplicate the feat in a doubleheader on August 1, 1972 vs the Atlanta Braves. In fact Colbert drove in 13 runs that day, compared to Musial's 8 RBIs.
