It figures it would be Frank Robinson, since he's also the answer to the question "Who won the MVP in both leagues?"

1. Pujols\nBest 1b of all time-btw-hit more HR in first 4 seasons than Ruth, Maris\n2. Gurrero\nBest All-around player in the game, deserved the MVP 2 years ago\n3. A. Rodriguez\nHandled the transition from SS to 3b smoothly, and is still one of the best hitters\n4. Hafner\nBig DH for the Indians is one of the early picks for MVP in the AL: hits for power and avg.\n5. Big Papi\nCarried the Red Sox to a title in '04, is an icon of the MLB and is the consummate DH

Carl Yastrzemski, 1967.  Oddly enough, he won it the year after Frank Robinson did.  Twice in two years and nothing since.

Alex Cintron of the Chicago White Sox. He would start on about 26 other teams.

Juan Gonzalez.  The guy was total talent with the bat, and he just bulked up and wore out his body on roids.

Well Lebron, if he won would be the youngest player to ever win the Regular Season MVP. Until that happens, Wes Unseld of the Baltimore/Washington Bullets (Now the Wizards) is the Youngest MVP at 23 Years old.

Would have to say Babe Ruth. Not only did he hit 714 home runs, which stood as the major league record for nearly 40 years, but he was a career  .342 hitter with a .474 on base percentage. If that's not enough, he was also one of the best pitchers the game has ever seen with a 94-46 record a 2.28 career ERA and still holds the record for consecutive scoreless innings pitching in the World Series.

Although he was a pitcher, Vida Blue is actually the last switch hitter to win the AL MVP, taking the award in 1971.\n\nBefore Blue, the last one to win had been Mickey Mantle.\n\nhttp://www.baseball-reference.com/b/bluevi01.shtml

i think cy young's victory record is the only record that is unbreakable.  i suppose that doesn't make him necessarily the best.  walter johnson was supposed to be awesome.  ever hear the story about bob feller?  he threw a called strike to a guy, and the batter said "it sounded low."

All time is Mickey Mantle. He could do it all batting left or right handed. Today it has to be Albert Pujols.
