Every summer, MLB pauses action in July, giving the majority of the league a break to rest up for the second part of the season. The league's best, however, get less time off because they participate in the annual MLB All-Star Game and related festivities.
Unlike the NFL's Pro Bowl, but similar to the NBA's All-Star Game, MLB holds its All-Star Game during the regular season. The Midsummer Classic pits the best of the American League against the best of the National League. Historically, the league that won the All-Star Game earned home-field advantage for that year's World Series. That was changed in 2017, and now the winners of the All-Star Game just get a nice bonus check.
The best player in the All-Star Game is awarded the All-Star Game MVP Award. In its history, it was known as the Arch Ward Memorial Trophy, honoring the inventor of the MLB All-Star Game, and the Commissioner's Trophy, although that became the name of the World Series Trophy in 1985. Since 2003, the MLB All-Star Game Trophy has been named the Ted Williams Trophy.
Here is a list of every player who has won the MLB All-Star Game MVP Award.
