Four years later, he won the MVP award, hitting .306 with 18 homers and 86 RBI.

He stuck around after the move to Oakland until 1978, when he was traded to the Cardinals for Tim Raines. He signed a free agent contract with the Yankees in 1980, but by then injuries had taken their toll. After two average years in New York, he retired before the 1982 season with a career .297 batting average and 2,955 hits. He was a six time All Star and won one Gold Glove, but never even once played in the postseason.

I'm curious. What position(s) did Rose play?
