A troubling issue with this iconic trophy is being re-examined by baseball... 9WWOS

The other name engraved on the trophy: Kenesaw Mountain Landis.

"Landis is a part of history, even though it was a dark history," Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said. "Looking back to baseball in the early 1900s, this was the norm.

I'd gladly replace the engraving on my trophies."

In 1931, Landis decided members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America would pick and present the MVP awards. Before that, the leagues had their own mishmash system.
