Ballpark in a box, by JunkBall
This week’s Trivia contest is from Junkball, and they bring you Ballpark in a Box! This is one cool prize, because inside this box you get bases, a strike zone, and their patented “junk ball” which is like a wiffle ball, but with the holes placed to teach the grips for throwing different pitches- all you need is a bat. The strike zone would allow someone to practice pitching without a batter, while the rest of the equipment can allow for a full on game in the backyard.
To win this prize, simply be the first to leave the correct answer in the comment box below to today’s trivia question.
Today’s Question: In 1983, this outfielder was named NL MVP for the second consecutive year. He was only the fourth player to win the award two years in a row. Can you name him? -And who do you think will win it this year?

1983 - Dave Parker
2011 - Albert Pujols
Nope. Dave Parker is not correct. This is a tough one, so I am going to keep it open through Wednesday. This is a player, who at the time was a stand-out on his team, and some might say helped build a TV network this year.
How about Barry Bonds??
How about George Clooney
Wait—–how about Steve Garvey??
Was it Jimmy Dugan?
You know who I mean … the famous slugger who was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the movies ?
OK Clearly, I let this go on too long. The answer is a little obscure looking at it with 2011 glasses, but back in 1983 it was obviously Dale Murphy who was the Most Valuable Player on a team.
