World Series MVP's Before the Award Existed (Part I 1903-1930)

The first Word Series MVP Award was handed out in 1955 by SPORT Magazine. This means that more than fifty deserving candidates went unrecognized. Just for fun, I went back and chose Most Valuable Players from all of those long-forgotten Octobers
