Jeff Burroughs Biography

Jeff Burroughs is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on March 7, 1951 in California, California, United States. Two-time All-Star outfielder who won the American League MVP Award in 1974.

He won the AL MVP Award in 1974, the same year Steve Garvey won the award in the National League.

Burroughs was selected by the Washington Senators with the first overall pick in the June 1969 draft. Late in the year, he joined the Senators at age of 19. Considered a “good bat-no field” kind of player, Burroughs was a considerable slugging threat during his playing days. Defensively, he was capable but slow.

In four full seasons with the Texas Rangers, Burroughs averaged 25.5 home runs a year with a high of 30 homers in 1973. His most productive season came in 1974, when he batted .301 with 25 home runs and a league-leading and career- high 118 RBIs. He was voted the American League MVP, making him one of only seven overall number-one draft picks to win the MVP title (the others are Chipper Jones, Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey, Jr., Bryce Harper, Joe Mauer and Josh Hamilton) and the first Ranger to win the award. During the 1974 season, Burroughs was at the center of the violent Ten Cent Beer Night debacle at Cleveland Stadium, where Burroughs was one of the targets of thrown objects and a few punches by unruly and inebriated Cleveland fans, in a game that was forfeited to Texas.

His son Sean followed in his footsteps and played in the MLB for 11 years.
