FTP, name this 3-year American League MVP best remembered for being the first to break Babe Ruth's record 60 homeruns in 1961.
Shanley High School did not have a baseball team due to the cold winters of his home state, so this man's career began with the American Legion. Turning down a football scholarship to Oklahoma, he played for Fargo-Moorhead, Keokuk, Tulsa, Reading and Indianapolis before hitting 51 RBIs in his first year for the Cleveland Indians. It was with the Kansas City A's that he first made the All-Star team. Traded east, he missed 17 games, enough to finish second in home runs to a fellow Yankee, Mickey Mantle.
