End of the American League Most Valuable Player award
The American League scrapped the MVP award after seven years citing commercialization and jealousy among players. The plan, once tied to a Washington monument, faded as Congress balked and the league shifted to a prize of one thousand dollars. Mickey Cochrane’s holdout after the prize fueled further opposition from Connie Mack.
