The 1958 Babe Ruth Award, won by Elston Howard

The Babe Ruth Award was an annual award given to the Major League Baseball player with the best performance in the World Series, similar to the World Series MVP Award. The award was created by the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America in honor of the late New York Yankees legend, Babe Ruth, and was first awarded a year after Ruth's death in 1948. It was typically presented several weeks after the Series. [1] The award was discontinued after the 2002 World Series.
