33 year old Sadaharu Oh has won 6 AL MVP's, been named to 11 all-star teams, and won the 1961 Rookie of the Year.
Unfortunately for him, he's been a life long member of the Angels, who have never played in the postseason. The only expansion team that's ever qualified for the playoffs are the Mets, who did it these past two years.
I like that it really really hard for expansion teams to win, but the Angels started out competitive. They were easily the best of the new teams in the 60's, but have nothing to show for it.
