About this Board
On Tuesday, November 10, 12 players took on MLB Deep Cut #48: “Name a player who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates and won an MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year or World Series MVP.” The prompt had 31 valid answers, and players found 6 of them. Correct answers score more the fewer people name them, so the deepest cuts are the ones worth the most.
