How the AL MVP winners timeline game works
American League MVPs fill this deck, with the club and position each one played printed under his name. The goal is to order them by the year each player first won the award. You start with one MVP on the timeline, its year visible. For every new card, pick the gap where it belongs. A correct pick reveals the year, while a wrong one still places the player correctly and costs one of three lives.
Sluggers, aces, catchers and middle infielders all appear, from the award's earliest seasons to recent winners. Positions are spread too evenly to help much, and the same handful of clubs produce MVPs in almost every era. Repeat winners appear only for their first award, so legends often sit earlier than their best-known seasons. Players with short peaks are the ones that slip through the gaps.
Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
