In 1922 the National League began giving this award also, but limited who could be selected by only placing one player from each team on the ballot giving writers eight players to select from; none of those eight were selected.

Did you know that the League Award was not brought back in 1930 mainly because the fans simply did not have any interest in who won the award?

Rogers Hornsby is the first player to ever win two official "Most Valuable Player Awards" (1925 & 1929 above) in Major League history.
