He broke into the major leagues with the Cleveland Indians in 1957, but first they traded him to the Kansas City Athletics and then the Athletics traded him away.  A mistake, no doubt, as he went on to play in 7 World Series, more than any other player in the 1960s, and won two consecutive Most Valuable Player awards.  For ten points, name this player who, according to the Baseball Writers' Association and the Committee on Baseball Veterans, does not belong in the Hall of Fame even though he held a famous record for 37 years.
