This thread seems to be winding down so I thought I'd throw out this trivia question.  It's an oldie but a goodie from the "betcha a beer you can't name..." from down at your favorite watering hole.

Years ago the MVPs in the major professional leagues (NBA, NFL, AFL, and each league in MLB) all wore the same number.

1. What year?
2. What number?
3. What are their names?

Ancillary question:  In the NBA player's junior year of college, 4 of the 5 starters were all drafted by and played in the NBA; 2 of which are NBA all-time greats.  The 5th starter went on to become a hall of fame coach.  Name the college and each of the 5 players.

This bit of trivia is sort of related to the topic of this thread in that 4 of the 5 MVPs were known by their nicknames although 3 were common  or logical nicknames of their given names.  The nickname of the 4th was in no way related to his given name except that both began with the same letter.  Only the NBA MVP was known by his given name.
