And, while he'd snag the award 45 years ago this week, it was over some pretty hilarious objections by Yankees writers. Mike and Bill look back at Brett's incredible career that defined more than a decade of Royals baseball and come away with an incredible appreciation not just for his abilities, but his flair for the dramatic.

Plus, happy birthday to Cristóbal Torriente and Everett Scott!

And farewell to Phil Meeler and Marc Hill.
