Cole Hamels
Jack Morris of the Minnesota Twins won the World Series MVP award in 1991.
It was Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels.
The first World Series MVP award was given out in 1955. It was won by Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher, Johnny Podres.
No, the Award started in 1955 when Dodgers pitcher Johnny Podres won it.
There was no MVP award given in the 1903 World Series, the first the Sox played in, so I will give the MVP to pitcher Bill Dinneen who started four games, winning three, with an ERA of 2.06 and two shutouts.
Larry Sherry of the 1959 Los Angeles Dodgers.
Bobby Richardson
Derek Jeter was the 2000 World Series MVP.
The first World Series MVP award was in 1955.
Bret Saberhagen won the 1985 World Series MVP Award.
