An All-Star in 1980, 1982 and 1983, Yount collected more hits in the 1980s than any other player and won a Gold Glove Award in 1982. 1982 proved his finest statistical season, as he won his first MVP award and helped lead the Brewers to their only World Series appearance, where he became the only player to collect four hits in each of two World Series games. His career highs of 29 homeruns, a .331 batting average, and 114 RBIs were all products of the 1982 season; he also stole 14 bases and had 210 hits, of which 46 were doubles and 12 were triples. In 1985, a shoulder problem forced Yount to move to the outfield. After splitting time between center field and left field, Yount became the Brewers' regular center fielder in 1986. In 1989, Yount collected a second MVP award, making him only the third player to win MVPs at two positions.
