We here at Notinhalloffame.com thought it would be fun to take a look at the major awards in North American team sports and see how it translates into Hall of Fame potential.
Needless to say, different awards in different sports yield hall of fame potential. In basketball, the team sport with the least number of players on a roster, the dividend for greatness much higher. In baseball, it is not as much as a great individual season does not have the same impact.
Last time, we looked at the Hank Aaron Award. We now have one of our last Baseball awards, the MLB All-Star Game MVP.
The trophy first came into existence in 1962, thirty years after Major League Baseball first gave us the mid-season classic. It goes without saying that to win this award, you first have to be good enough that year to have made it to the game.
Let’s find out!
The following are the past players who have won the All-Star Game MVP who are eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame and have been enshrined.
