World Series Most Valuable Players Winners

By Patrick Mondout

The World Series Most Valuable Player award has been presented since 1955.

Bobby Richardson managed to win the 1960 award - then voted on by the editor's of Sport magazine - despite playing for the losing team. He won a Corvette for his then-record 12 RBIs while Bill Mazeroski and the Pirates won rings. Richardson remains the only loser to win the award.

Share Your Memories!

Our sites have always been by you and about you. If you check our TV Forums or our Technology & Science forums, you'll find literally thousands of messages from fans of 1970s TV shows, survivors of hurricanes or aircraft accidents, etc. from all over the world sharing their memories, asking questions, making comments. Our baseball section is new, but don't let that stop you from sharing your memories of the first game you went to, your favorite player, a now-forgotten stadium, etc. Of course you can also ask questions, post trivia, tell the world what you think of Barry Bonds, or just read what others are saying.
