I knew the Dodgers have dominated ROY and Cy Young..the Yanks MVP
I was surprised Carlton was the last 300 Inning Man in 1980 no less. I would have guessed Jack Morris, or Clemons did it more recently.

Probably 2 or 3. The ones I would have scored on for were Carlton and ClemEns. I think I would have guessed Fernando "El Toro" right.
