Babe Ruth Award

Der Babe Ruth Award ist eine Auszeichnung in der US-amerikanischen Baseball-Profiliga Major League Baseball. Der Namenspate der Trophäe ist die verstorbene Baseball-Legende Babe Ruth.

Er wird seit 1948 jährlich an jenen Baseballer gegeben, der in der World Series der „Most Valuable Player“ (wertvollste Spieler) gewesen ist. An der Wahl selbst nehmen amerikanische Sportjournalisten teil. Bisher wurde nur 1994 kein Preis vergeben, da seiner Zeit die Baseballspieler gestreikt haben.
