    It's actually up to thirteen now:

    C- Yogi Berra (1954, 1955)

    1B- Jimmie Foxx (1932, 1933)

    1B- Albert Pujols (2008, 2009)

    2B- Joe Morgan (1975, 1976)

    SS- Ernie Banks (1958, 1959)

    3B- Mike Schmidt (1980, 1981)

    3B- Miguel Cabrera (2012, 2013)

    OF- Mickey Mantle (1956, 1957)

    OF- Roger Maris (1960, 1961)

    OF- Dale Murphy (1982, 1983)

    OF- Barry Bonds (1992, 1993; 2001-2004)

    SP- Hal Newhouser (1944, 1945)

    1B/DH- Frank Thomas (1993, 1994)

    Hadn't noticed before, but they seem to cluster: Every year between 1955 and 1961 (Berra 54/55, Mantle 56/57, Banks 58/59, Maris 60/61); Schmidt (80/81) and Murphy (82/83); Bonds (92/93) and Thomas (93/94). That's eight of thirteen.
