The World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award is given to the player who most contributes to his team's success in the World Series. The award was originally given by the editors of SPORT magazine, but is now decided by a combination of media members, Major League Baseball officials, and fan voting.

The first award was given after the first Brooklyn Dodgers win. Podres, a 9–10 rookie during the regular season, beat the Yankees twice in the series, including the Game 7 shutout. In 1957, Lew Burdette pitched three complete-game victories. Don Larsen pitched the only perfect game in World Series history. Bobby Richardson was the only player to win this award while on the losing team. Mickey Lolich won three games, including the Game 7 clincher over Bob Gibson. In 1977, Reggie Jackson hit three home runs in deciding game (only second player to do so in World Series history) to earn the nickname, "Mr. October". In 1981, only trio to win the award. Jack Morris pitched 10 shutout innings in one of the most memorable Game 7s ever. In 2001, The duo combined for all four of Arizona's wins in the series. Johnson had three of them, including the relief appearance in Game 7. The only players who have won the award twice are Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson and Reggie Jackson. Jackson is the only one to do it for two different teams. Players who have won the Cy Young Award in the same season as the World Series MVP include: Orel Hershiser (1988), Bret Saberhagen (1985), Sandy Koufax (1963, 1965), Whitey Ford (1961), Bob Turley (1958) and Randy Johnson (2001). Players who have won the regular-season MVP (NL or AL) in the same season as the World Series MVP include: Mike Schmidt (1980), Willie Stargell (1979; shared with Keith Hernandez), Reggie Jackson (1973), Frank Robinson (1966) and Sandy Koufax (1963). Players who have won the Championship Series MVP (NLCS or ALCS) in the same season as the World Series MVP include: Willie Stargell (1979), Darrell Porter (1982), Orel Hershiser (1988), Liván Hernández (1997), Cole Hamels (2008) The only player who has won the All-Star Game MVP in the same season as the World Series MVP is Derek Jeter (2000). Only Sandy Koufax (1963) has won the Cy Young Award, the regular-season MVP and the World Series MVP in the same season. Only Willie Stargell (1979) has won the regular-season MVP, the League Championship Series MVP and the World Series MVP in the same season. Only Orel Hershiser (1988) has won the Cy Young Award, the LCS MVP and the World Series MVP in the same season. Pitchers have been named Series MVP 26 times, of which 4 were relief pitchers. Since 1995, pitchers have won the award 8 times. 12 of the first 14 Series MVP Awards were won by pitchers. There have been three 5-year runs of pitchers winning the award (1955–1959, 1961–1965 and 1987–1991). Rollie Fingers (1974) and Bret Saberhagen (1985) were the only pitchers to win the award between 1969 and 1986. In 2001, two pitchers (Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson) shared the award. The only player to win the award while on the losing team is Bobby Richardson (1960). The award was shared by multiple players in the following years: 1981 (Ron Cey, Pedro Guerrero, Steve Yeager), 2001 (Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling).
