Yeah Mitchell won one but it was a couple years in

Holy shit

My first ever SERIOUS Mandela incident.

I KNEW that Mitchell won in his first season with the Giants. There was absolutely zero doubt about that in my mind.

I never believed in the Mandela effect until this very second.

If anyone is still working on this here's some clues on the remaining 5 guys who won MVPs their first year after being traded. (some of these clues may overlap, i.e. some players may fit with multiple clues).

Two of them were traded from Philadelphia to Detroit.
One of them won back to back MVPs
One is an old time Hall of famer, one a more modern Hall of famer
Two are pitchers
One was traded from the Dodgers but is more well known for playing with 2 other teams. (He only spent 1 year on the Dodgers. He's fairly well known as a Hall of Very Gooder but I didn't even realize he had ever played for the Dodgers. )

I cheated and looked it up.

Would never have guessed it was someone even better than Bernie Williams. Or Wally Pipp.

I guess that technically is true as well. Didn't see that part of it to be honest

Obviously I cheated. Good question, though.

Now I'm thinking A-Rod. Although Teixeira is a solid guess too
