27-year-old Chuck Klein was named the National League MVP in 1932, his fifth season as the Phillies right fielder. The left-handed hitting slugger dominated by leading the league in games (154), batting average (.348), runs (152), hits (226), home runs (38), stolen bases (20), slugging percentage (.646), OPS (1.050) and total bases (420). Klein became the first player in the live-ball era (post-1920) to lead his league in both home runs and stolen bases in the same season.
