There was no All Star MVP given out in 1959. The MVP award was not handed out until 1962. The Major League Baseball All-Star Game, known as the "Midsummer Classic" started in 1933 when Arch Ward, the sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, put together the first All-Star Game as a part of Chicago's Exposition that year. Beginning in 1962, The MVP Award (Most Valuable Player) has been given to the most outstanding player of the All-Star Game. The 1959 MLB All Star game played in Pittsburgh was won by the National League 5 - 4
