MLB Most Valuable Player MVP Award Winners
The Most Valuable Player Award is given annually to one player in each league. The award began in 1911 as the Chalmers Award, honoring the "most important and useful player to the club and to the league". This award was discontinued in 1914. From 1922 to 1928 in the American League and from 1924 to 1929 in the National League, an MVP award was given to "the baseball player who is of the greatest all-around service to his club". Prior winners were not eligible to win the MVP award again during this time. The current incarnation of the MVP award was established in 1931. The Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) votes on the MVP award at the conclusion of each season before the postseason starts. Official MVPs were not awarded in the 1929 AL nor in the NL or AL in 1930. However, balloting was conducted for those league seasons and we have decided to display these 'unofficial' MVPs since their lack of official recognition is largely a technicality.
