What year were 3 players named MVP in baseball?

There has never been a three way tie for MVP in a single league, however, in 1979 there was a tie between Keith Hernandez of the St. Louis Cardinals and Willie Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates for the National League MVP. With Don Baylor being the American League MVP that year, it could be said that 1979 was the year that three players were named MVP. This also occurred in 1930 when both the Sporting News and the Baseball Writers Association of America selected the MVP. Joe Cronin of the Washington Senators was selected as American League MVP by both organizations and Bill Terry of the New York Giants (Sporting News) and Hack Wilson (BBWAA) of the Chicago Cubs were selected National League MVPs.
