In four full seasons with the Texas Rangers , Burroughs averaged 25.5 home runs a year with a high of 30 homers in . His most productive season came in , when he batted .301 with 25 home runs and a league-leading and career-high 118 RBIs and was selected the American League MVP , making him one of only seven overall number-one 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 in Cleveland , 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
