The ‘Every NLCS MVP’ quiz
On a team including Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddy Freeman, it was trade deadline acquisition Tommy Edman who was the NLCS MVP for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Edman hit .407 in 27 at-bats with 11 RBI, including four in the Game 6 NLCS-clinching victory to send the Dodgers to the World Series. Given the star power on the roster, and Edman’s .237 average over 37 regular season games with Los Angeles, Edman was not a likely choice to win the award headed into the series.
“I never imagined once we acquired him, he’d be hitting fourth in a postseason game,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of Edman, via ESPN. “But I trust him. The guys trust him. He’s made huge defensive plays for us and had huge hits.”
Which brings us to today’s quiz. Edman is the ninth Dodger to win NLCS MVP in the history of the award, and the first since 2020. With that being said, can you name every NLCS MVP since the award was first given in 1977?
Good luck!
